Los Angeles - UPI
Hip-hop star Lil Wayne says he is planning his retirement after 19 years in the music industry. The 30-year-old rapper is promoting his 10th solo album, \"I Am Not a Human Being II,\" which is set for release in February. Asked on MTV if the CD is part of his \"Tha Carter\" series of albums, Lil Wayne replied, \"It\'s like a \'Carter V.\'\" So, why not call it that? \"Because I know y\'all want me around for a little bit, and \'Carter V\' is my last album,\" Lil Wayne told MTV.com. \"Man, I\'ve been rappin\' since I was 8 years old. I\'m 30 now, man. That\'s a long time, man.\" The website said it is unclear when \"Tha Carter V\" might be recorded or released or if any other Lil Wayne albums will come before it.
