Miami producers Infamous and Drew Correa, the duo behind Lil Wayne’s “Mr. Carter” and Weezy’s new rocker “Prom Queen,” have revealed some details about Weezy’s new rock album Rebirth, due in store April 7th. “There were rumors Wayne was working on a rock album, but I assumed it was just 808 drums with guitars on it. But that night when we worked on the track, [Wayne] said he wanted lots of drums, bass and guitars,” Infamous told Billboard. “Drew started to add organs, and [Wayne] said no. That’s when I realized it was actually going to be a real rock album.”

The duo worked on three songs from Weezy’s Rebirth. “He’s done everything he can with hip-hop and has proven himself,” Infamous adds. “Now he’s about to prove himself as a rocker and we’re excited to be a part of it.” Producers Cool & Dre and Develop are also expected to be a part of it. As for how “Prom Queen” came together, Correa said, “Wayne hit me up one night and wanted us to come through the studio to make some tracks with him live. When the track came together the next morning everyone thought it was the shit and [Wayne] told us it would be a single. We though he was joking, we thought he was just saying that to be nice. But a couple of days later we were signing paperwork and it was actually happening.”

Even though “Prom Queen” leaked already, the track will make its official debut tonight over several platforms. The song will stream on Wayne’s MySpace page, plus Weezy will perform the song live for the first time at a concert in San Diego which will stream live on AT&T’s FREEdom of Choice and Mobile Music Facebook page. Then tomorrow, January 28th, “Prom Queen” will hit iTunes, Amazon MP3 and most other digital music providers.

Autumn | 5/8/2009, 5:11 pm EST

I don’t really like rap so I don’t listen to it often but when I was flipping through the channels and I stopped and actually listened to lil waynes song Prom Queen. You have made a fan for life. If you were to stay rock or atleast make alot more songs rock. I would be your fan forever. Your voice is awesome! And you play the guitar pretty cool

wayne sucks | 5/20/2009, 6:25 pm EST

Prom queens is by far the most putrid, sorry excuse for music I have ever heard. Aside from not being rock it gives people the impression that things such as this are passable as more than jokes. Please think of the children that have to grow up listening to this music and take it off the air.

inemesit polycarp | 5/23/2009, 4:44 pm EST

lil wayne baby kip up ok…….i luv u

cash money | 5/30/2009, 12:14 pm EST

do the damn thing

Morons | 7/12/2009, 2:46 pm EST

I think he might be doing this because he’s tired of how shallow and stupid rap has become. All you morons saying “dis” and “da” and “hataz” are fucking idiots, you do actually know how to spell but you even TYPE your accent that you spent years perfecting on purpose. Fuckfaces, do something with yourselves you worthless losers. Anyway, good for him, using instruments, using talent, the music industry has hope now that the biggest rap star is sick of doing cookie cutter radio bullshit that you dumbfuck robots all listen to.
