Tha Carter is a 2004 rap album by American rapper Lil Wayne. The bulk of the album was produced by Cash Money Records's former in-house producer Mannie Fresh.
Tha Carter preceded Lil Wayne's work in Tha Drought mixtape and Tha Prefix mixtape, where he freestyled over The Black Album. Tha Carter peaked at number five on the 2004 Billboard 200, and at number two on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
A separate version of the album, "The Screwed and Chopped" version was produced by Michael 5000 Watts of Swishahouse. There was also an edited version which removes profanity and sex/drug lyrics. The album is loosely based around the mansion owned by Lil Wayne; "Walk In", "Inside" and "Walk Out" all feature Wayne describing his lavish home. "Tha Carter" is the first in a three part series released by Lil Wayne (Tha Carter II and Tha Carter III) and is generally considered his break out album, due his obvious maturity in both subject matter and delivery compared to his first three albums.
