With just over a month until his new rock/rap hybrid album Rebirth is released, the idiosyncratic rapper has released a new official mixtape just for us fans: No Ceilings.

The first song, Swag Surfin’, brings us back to a simpler time when Wayne was busy redefining the mixtape game. The song has no chorus, no guest stars, and no fancy beats – just Wayne going hard with lines that make you rewind the track and play it back as you say “did he really just make that analogy?”

“I mean her bitch, she never met her best friend’s sister
I leave her pussy Micro-soft like Windows Vista”

The above line sums it up pretty well. Other standout tracks which are played over some of the hotter beats of recent times:

Ice Cream – over a clap heavy beat and his traditional slow drawl, Wayne kills this beat. Notable line which highlights a return to his earlier stream of consciousness raps: “Im eatin, yous a waiter / Pistol on my hip, Tomb Raider”

D.O.A, Run This Town – better than Jay-Z’s original songs on The Blueprint 3.

Break Up – another Bangladesh beat and Wayne is completely on point here, as well as a rare guest appearance by Short Dawg and Gudda Gudda, who both shine here.

Banned from T.V. – a standout track.

Overall, this mixtape sidesteps some of the follies from his recent offerings, with less emphasis on guest stars, less distractions with the autotune machine, and more street-level, clever bars. Because Lil’ Wayne explicitly wants this album shared for free, download No Ceilings wherever you can, as long as it is for free because he has a “ton of music” and this is what he does for his fans as stated in the skits.
