No Ceilings is a mixtape by rap artist Lil Wayne. It was scheduled to be released on October 31, 2009, but was leaked before the official date. No Ceilings was officially released on October 31 (Halloween), with 4 additional tracks. The mixtape is available as a free and legal download.[5] The name No Ceilings refers to Lil Wayne's belief that he has "no ceilings", or no limit, to his rapping ability. As he says on Track 11, Skit #2, "I would love for you to look up into the building and understand that there is no ceilings; there is only the sky, and the sky is the limit."
