Dancehall has copped another big win, as one of its prominent figures will be featured on the highly anticipated album of megastar rapper Lil Wayne. News swept the internet that none other than the “Energy God” himself, Elephant Man, has secured a spot on Lil Wayne’s upcoming Carter VI album.
Ahead of its June release, the star-studded lineup of collaborators was unveiled. News emerged following a private listening session for the album, as reported by Rolling Stone in an article published Thursday.
The publication confirmed Elephant Man as one of the featured collaborators on the project. It places him among several international stars, such as pop powerhouse Miley Cyrus, alternative sensation Billie Eilish, and hip-hop legend Wyclef Jean. Additionally, the controversial superstar rapper Kanye West, who goes as Ye, is also featured on the project as a producer.
The upcoming collaboration marks not only a victory for dancehall but also another major milestone in Elephant Man’s illustrious career. Elephant Man is known for his electrifying presence and his ability to get people moving on the dance floor. His unique style earned him collaborations with several international acts seeking to infuse their tracks with energetic and authentic dancehall flavour.
His past collaborations include chart-toppers like the Get Low remix with Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, the sultry Don’t Stop (All Nite) remix with Janet Jackson, and the globally recognised Whine Up with Kat DeLuna, an anthem that catapulted their careers. More recently, Elephant Man also made a resurgence with his music, reclaiming the spotlight with a remix of Moliy’s viral hit Shake It To The Max.
While details about the Carter VI track featuring Elephant Man remain under wraps, fans are already speculating about the fusion of Lil Wayne’s lyrical prowess with Elephant Man’s infectious energy and Caribbean flair. If history is any indicator, it could easily become a club favourite. This will be another monumental moment in Elephant Man’s career as it pushes his brand in front of Lil Wayne’s massive global fanbase.
