Jon Batiste Got Lil Wayne to Pick Up His Guitar Again
Jon Batiste’s Collaboration: Lil Wayne Returns to the Guitar
Lil Wayne revealed earlier this year that he couldnโt pick his hitmaking album Tha Carter III out of a lineup. โI believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing shit,โ he told Rolling Stone. One thing Wayne does remember, though: how to play guitar. Weezy picked up the axe over a decade ago, first as a trick during his live shows, and then to pivot to rock for his 2010 album Rebirth. Now, heโs back to rip a solo for his fellow Louisianan Jon Batiste, on โUneasy,โ off Batisteโs new album, World Music Radio. Itโs only a simple, 30-second ditty, coming in the middle of a John Legendโy interlude toward the end of the song. Still, weโd say Wayne has a better chance of remembering that than the verse he dropped here.
