Introduction:Lil Wayne (AKA Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.) has been in the rapping game since the age of 9, when he was the youngest artist to be signed to Cash Money Records. Since then, he has continued to dominate the world of rap music, releasing a total of 9 albums until Tha Carter IV, which included the tracks “How to Love” and “She Will”, some of his biggest hits of all time. “How to Love” is a slower, more acoustic song compared to what Weezy usually puts out. It’s dedicated to “women who don’t know how to love because there’s deep reasons for them not knowing how to love”. Weezy reached out to MusicPromoToday for help promote his brand.
