Mixtape Monday spoke with Lil Wayne to get the scoop on what’s next for Weezy. For starters don’t expect to see Tha Carter, Vol. 3 anytime soon as he’s focused on collabs and mixtapes in the coming months.

“I’m trying to drop my album at like the end of the year,” said Wayne, whose latest guest spots include work for Beyoncé, DJ Khaled, DJ Drama and Mya. “I’m a bouncing-around artist, on everybody’s track, whatever the style is, I’m on it. I’m being there for them now, and I’mma do me at the end of the year. So next year will be my whole year. But this year, I want to devote to those people, do their videos, come out, do shows with them. These songs are their singles, so if I’m not available, why even make it a single?”

Also, there’s a possibility that Kanye West will have a major presence on Tha Carter, Vol. 3. Kanye might even end up as executive producer on the project.

“I can’t clarify it because it’s still in the air,” Wayne said of Kanye’s possible role on the album. “But I can say it’s way more than [producing] two songs. But you never know. The new move is definitely a blessing. A new opportunity. Of course I’m gonna use it as much as I can.”

You can also add the Juelz Santana/Lil Wayne album Can’t Feel My Face to the delayed Weezy projects list as the duo hasn’t foudn the right offer yet.

“Juelz just called me and said, ‘Since we waiting for somebody to come to the table with the right money, we have so much material, we should drop a mixtape,’ ” Wayne said. “So that’s what we gonna do, drop a mixtape first. Then probably try to get some big names to do some beats and the album will drop. The mixtape will come by the end of the month. The album, we have to schedule it right. See what a company wants to do. Our plan was to do the whole album ourselves like some starving artists and present it to a company.”
