Da Drought 3 is a two-disc mixtape by Lil Wayne, released on April 13, 2007

Contents

Background

This is the third in the trilogy of mixtapes in Da Drought series. Released in 2007, the mixtape was delayed slightly as a result of Wayne's last-minute decision to add songs to the album's second disc. The album is available as a free legal download. It contains mostly remixes of other songs. It is noted for Lil Wayne's use of similes, liquid non sequiturs, and metaphors.[1]

When speaking to MTV about the double mixtape, Lil Wayne stated that he did not plan on two discs being released until he found how many songs he had recorded. He also stated he did not have a preconceived plan on how to choose the songs:

“ The radio be on and whatever song comes on, add that instrumental to it.[2] ”
