Lil Wayne Unveils Genius Album Sleeve

Lil Wayne has unveiled the frankly brilliant artwork to his new album ‘Tha Carter III’

The front cover features a photo of the 25-year-old rapper as a baby complete with photoshop-ed bling, tattoos and a lovely suit.

Speaking to MTV, Wayne said: “That's me! All day. No computers. Only thing [digitally enhanced] was the tattoos. My momma gave me the picture for me to put on the album cover.

“I don't know where my momma found that picture. My momma, she gave me that and one more. If you would have saw the other picture, you'd be like, 'She got too many pictures.'”

The album hits the shelves in the US on June 10.
