Tha Carter II is the fifth album by rap artist Lil Wayne, released in December 2005. Artists making guest appearances on the album include veteran rappers Baby AKA The Birdman and Kurupt, as well as Young Money members Curren$y and Nikki.

The album was worked on by several music producers, although the Williams Brothers, as the heads of Cash Money Records, claimed executive producer rights. This is one of the first albums from the Cash Money label that does not feature work from longtime in-house producer Mannie Fresh.

The first single from the album is "Fireman." Lil' Wayne announced that the next single from the album would be "Hustler Musik". The video premiered on BET's "Access Granted" on February 22, 2006.

Meaning of the title

In the 1991 film New Jack City, "tha Carter" is the name of Nino Brown's efficient crackhouse. In relation to the album, "tha Carter" is interpreted as Lil Wayne's building, crackhouse, or castle as a physical symbol for Lil Wayne's dynasty. "Carter" is also, not coincidentially, Lil Wayne's last name. It should also be noted that "tha Carter" was released under the Cash Money Records label and Nino Brown and his clique in New Jack City was known as the CMB or Cash Money Brothers. This is the second (II) album in "tha Carter" series. Wayne has said that he plans to make five studio "tha Carter" albums.
