New Orleans rapper Lil' Wayne will remain the "franchise" artist of
Cash Money Records. The record label has announced the Young Money
founder has inked a new multi-album deal. Although, the specific terms
of the contract were not revealed, Wayne is bound contractually for
several albums, according to AllHipHop.com.

"Working with our son Lil' Wayne throughout the many years has helped
us build Cash Money into the empire it is today," said Bryan "Baby"
Williams, who co-founded the groundbreaking label with his brother 16
years ago. "Cash Money is a family and Lil' Wayne has been part of our
family since day one."

Wayne was first signed by the Willimas brothers at the tender age of
eleven, and made his first official record appearance on the Hot Boyz'
1997 debut Get It How U Live.

Of his six solo albums on Cash Money, four have been RIAA-ceritified
platinum, including his 1999 solo debut Tha Block Is Hot and the first
two installments of The Carter triology.

Most recently, of course, Lil' Wayne scored commerical and critical
success with his highly anticipated The Carter III, which has sold 2.4
million records to date.

According to Ronald "Slim" Williams, Wayne's success is not surprising,
considering the character he has displayed since first joining their
"family."

"We were introduced to him when he was just a little, little kid," Slim
shares. "He told us he wanted to be a rapper. He just called us every
day, and at one point, even came to live with us. He just outworked
everybody. He had that drive to succeed."

Lil’ Wayne, born Dewayne Carter, Jr., was scheduled in a Manhattan
Supreme Court on yesterday (September 15), where he was to face weapons
charges tied to a July 2007 arrest.

The appearances was to continue a pre-trial hearing from last week,
where Diane Hornung, the arresting officer in the case, stated that she
boarded the New Orleans rapper’s tour bus after detecting the smell of
marijuana, only to find the artist attempting to hide a .40 caliber
handgun.

Wayne’s New York attorney Stacey Richman said the hearing was postponed
to allow all witnesses to testify on one day, rather than to prolong
the proceedings.

On another note, Wayne received some better news yesterday when the nominees for the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards were announced.

He was nominated in 12 categories, including "Lyricist of the Year" and
"MVP of the Year," officially leading the list of nominees, which also
includes David Banner, Kanye West, Common, Plies, Snoop Dog, Jay-Z,
Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled and "A Milli" producer Bangladesh.
