"The opportunity to partner our new video game, Def Jam Rapstar with Lil Wayne's new album, 'I Am Not A Human Being' is a historic moment for gaming, music and hip hop," says Kevin Liles, President and CEO, Def Jam Enterprises. "When we approached Lil Wayne's management team, Gee Roberson of Hip Hop Since 1978 and Cortez Bryant of Bryant Management, to partner with us, we all knew this would be another opportunity to super-serve hip hop fans across the country. Special thanks to my good friends Bryan 'Birdman' Williams and Ronald 'Slim' Williams of Cash Money Records; Together, once again, we made history." "Part of our work as managers is to develop new ways for the artist and brand worlds to intersect," says Gee Roberson of Hip Hop Since 1978. "Lil Wayne himself is an avid gamer and Def Jam Rapstar is a new way for fans to interact with music, so it was a natural fit." "It wouldn't be a true hip hop game without the presence of hip hop's most recognizable face," adds Bryan "Birdman" Williams, Co-CEO of Cash Money Records Group. I Am Not A Human Being is the follow-up to Lil Wayne's 2010 album, Rebirth, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. It will be Lil Wayne's second album release in less than a year, capping off an outstanding decade that included selling 10 million records and earning eight Grammy nominations for his multi-platinum 2008 album, The Carter III, which shattered records by selling over one million copies in its first week of release. Digitally released on Lil Wayne's birthday, September 27th, the album will also be available in retail stores on October 12th.
