In a surprise move on August 5, 2025, Lil Wayne quietly made his legendary mixtapes Da Drought 1, 2 and 3 and Dedication available on streaming platforms for the very first time. Fans discovered the uploads organically, with no prior announcement from the rapper or his team.
These digital releases mark another milestone in Wayne’s ongoing effort to bring his mixtape archives to the streaming era—following previous DSP drops of No Ceilings and Sorry 4 the Wait.
Many of these tapes only existed on physical CDs, USB drives, or mixtape sites. Now they can be streamed seamlessly—bringing back the nostalgia of rediscovering classic freestyles over modern beats.
