Tha Carter Singles Collection is a limited‑edition 7‑inch vinyl box set that compiles 19 of Lil Wayne’s biggest singles from across his Tha Carter series, issued as a collector’s i tem rather than a traditional audio “album.” Released in the early 2020s via Young Money/Republic in partnership with specialty retailers, it gathers key hits from Tha Carter through Tha Carter V—among them “Go DJ,” “Fireman,” “Hustler Musik,” “Shooter,” “A Milli,” “Got Money,” “Lollipop,” “Mrs. Officer,” “6 Foot 7 Foot,” “How to Love,” “John,” “She Will,” “It’s Good,” “Mirror,” “Uproar,” and “Mona Lisa”—pressed onto ten 7‑inch records with A‑ and B‑side “single edit” configurations. The set’s track list is sequenced to move roughly in chronological order, effectively tracing Wayne’s evolution from mid‑2000s Southern mixtape star to late‑2000s pop‑rap juggernaut and into his 2010s era of longer, more introspective Carter records.Physically, the box set is designed as a premium artifact: it includes a booklet of rare photographs, liner notes, two lithographs, and new artwork that incorporates elements of Wayne’s tattoos into the outer box design, underlining its appeal to dedicated fans and vinyl collectors. One of its major draws is the inclusion of “Ya Dig,” an unreleased track from the Tha Carter III sessions that was simultaneously issued to streaming services to promote the box; on vinyl, it appears as the B‑side to the “Mona Lisa” single edit. Conceptually, the collection functions as a curated overview of the Carter saga in single form, highlighting the songs that defined Wayne’s mainstream ascent while packaging them in a nostalgic, analog format that emphasizes his status as both a hitmaker and a long‑running album artist.
