Lil’ Wayne is wrapping up a stellar year with a star-studded 24-city tour that will lead him into 2009.

On December 1, the Cash Money Millionaire will kick off the “I
Am Music Tour” at Miami’s America Airlines Arena with a
multi-genre supporting cast of opening acts.

The tour will run through January 19, 2009 and will feature
performances by Wayne’s most frequent collaborator T-Pain and his
most recent collaborator Keri Hilson.

Also included on the line up are R&B darling Keyshia Cole and alternative rap group Gym Class Heroes.

“I Am Music” will be Weezy’s biggest tour to date in support of his multi-platinum sixth studio album, Tha Carter III.

Since debuting at the top spot on the Billboard Top 200
chart with a little over a million units sold in it’s first week,
the critically album has garnered several accolades for Wayne.

Since the June 10th release of Tha Carter III, Wayne has
taken home the Artists Choice Award at the 2008 MTV Europe Award and
seven BET Hip-Hop Awards including Lyricist of the Year, Alltel
Wireless People’s Champ and Track of the Year for “A
Milli.”

Wayne has also been recognized with a People’s Choice Award
nomination for Favorite Hip-Hop Song for “Lollipop” and
American Music Awards nominations for Artist of the Year, Favorite Male
artist (Hip-Hop/Rap Music) and Favorite Album (Hip-Hop/Rap Music).

Lil’ Wayne is planning to follow up Tha Carter III with a collection of completely new material which he will title Tha Carter III: The Rebirth, which is rumored to be available as soon as next month.

The album is said to feature an “A Milli” remix with
Cory Gunz, Hurricane Chris, Lil Mama and Tyga, as well as
“Lollipop Part 2” with The Dream, T-Pain, Chris Brown,
T.I., Birdman and DJ Khaled.

Also on the album is a reunion cut entitled “Let’s Do It
