Lil Wayne Welcomes Mellow Rackz To Young Money With New Chain

Lil Wayne is a special emcee, the likes of which is seldom seen in the rap game. While many OGs certainly are respected by hip-hop’s new generation, there are few who have proven as directly influential as Lil Wayne.

To this day, he remains an active collaborator with plenty of current-day stars, including Lil Baby, DaBaby, and Polo G; he even keeps active on the boom-bap circuit, having recently linked with Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine to flex his elite lyrical prowess. Suffice it to say, there’s a reason he remains so widely respected by such a wide variety of rappers, and it’s no wonder that many are keen to join his Young Money empire.

Now, Mellow Rackz has officially been welcomed on the Young Money team, an occasion commemorated Sunday night with a lavish signing party at LIV Miami. Mellow Rackz shared a video on her Instagram page, in which she receives an iced-out Young Money chain from Weezy himself. Earlier, both Wayne and label president Mack Maine met their new signee at the airport, where they gifted her a duffel bag filled with $100k in cash.

“Dreams really do come true,” captions Rackz, alongside the video. “I really hustled this is no luck. @livmiami ON A SUNDAY. it’s @mackmaine4president & @zoeydollaz in the Dj booth 4 me. that’s the love u can’t buy. Mula Gang.”
