Superstar Lil Wayne will be the first rapper to do an MTV Unplugged performance since Jay-Z.
On the verge of releasing his ninth studio album Tha Carter IV, Lil Wayne has booked in a performance of MTV Unplugged.
It's the first time a rapper has gone unplugged since Jay-Z in 2001, and twenty years since Yo! Unplugged Rap with LL Cool J, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.
MTV's EVP of Music and Talent Amy Doyle said, "Lil Wayne is an amazing choice for Unplugged as he is at hip-hop's forefront — leading a new generation of artists whose appeal spans across music genres and playlists. Lil Wayne's skills, influence, and catalog are a powerful addition to the legacy of artists who have rocked the 'Unplugged' stage."
It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out.
MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged will air across the MTV stations on Sunday 12 June from 9pm in the US.
