The wait is finally over. Tha Carter V has a release date.

After much anticipation, Lil Wayne has revealed an official release date for his long-awaited album. In a video posted on social media, Weezy announced that C5 will drop on Friday, Sept. 29, which coincides with his 36th birthday this week. It was previously rumored to arrive on Sept. 21.

“On my birthday, I actually have something special. I will be releasing Tha Carter V on my birthday,” he said. “Y’all hung in there with me, so I can’t do nothing but thank y’all for all the love and all the passion and every ounce of anything.”

He has set up a website ThaCarterV.com, which counts down to the Friday release. He also unveiled the previously-seen artwork, a childhood photo of him and his mother Cita.

The announcement follows Wayne and Birdman’s lengthy legal battle. Weezy sued Cash Money for $51 million in 2015 to terminate his contract. In June, he reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount.

Tha Carter V will be the first Wayne album that doesn’t carry a Cash Money logo.
