Background
On April 4, 2016, DJ Drama invited Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz on an episode of his Shade 45 podcast "Streetz is Watchin" to discuss the release of the album, ColleGrove. The topic of conversation eventually turned to Lil Wayne and DJ Drama's "Dedication" mixtape series, and specifically the whereabouts of the next installment, Dedication 6. "I started no longer wanting Drama to put out only songs I'm doing my own little remixes to. I started giving him original music. I started approaching mixtapes as to actually getting a little more recognition than albums. So start paying attention to what you're doing and how you're doing it on there, and still doing the same thing. That's why when you ask me what's my favorite Dedication, I'm always going to say the last one because I'm trying to get only better than the last shit."[1] Wayne also said: "I want it to be something you can listen to ten years from now, just like when I walk in, I meet people, and they be like, 'Damn, Dedication 3, I still listen to that every day'".[2]
Promotion
On February 2, 2015, DJ Drama posts a picture of him, Lil Wayne and Mack Maine on Instagram with the caption, "Sorry For The Wait 2. Carter V. Dedication 6". HotNewHipHop says this indicates that Dedication 6 will be released after Tha Carter V.[3]
