Lil Wayne

Long before he became a household name, Lil Wayne was already working toward a career in music. While most children his age spent their free time on sports, films, television or the radio, he was focused on what he wanted to become. This short biography looks at what drove the young rapper to such determination and how he came to bring Southern rap out of the Dirty South and onto the national stage.
