LIL WAYNE IS WORKING ON A JOINT ALBUM WITH JUELZ SANTANA: Looks like Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana‘s I Can’t Feel My Face, which never officially materialized for the public, is in the works. During an interview with Report Card Radio’s Mikey T The Movie Star, Dipset‘s own Un Kasa revealed that the former duo are reworking the effort. Un Kasa said, “They got a whole new album now. I ain’t hear none of it. I might have heard some snippets before ‘Elz got incarcerated, but they got a whole new album that they supposed to put out together.” He continued, “Him and ‘Elz might have did a few songs together in the same studio but pretty much that whole project was coming through emails. ‘Elz would do a verse and a hook, send it to Wayne. No longer than 25 minutes to a half an hour, Wayne would have that sh*t sent back in an email.” Kasa also said it’s plausible that the album never dropped due to business-related reasons.
