undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.
Lil Wayne has spent most of the year touring around the world, entertaining fans at sold out shows, and it seems that it has paid off in a monumental way. It was just announced that Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour has grossed $46 million in the U.S.
Wayne performed in 78 venues across the globe, selling 32,000 tickets in Chicago, Illinois, 27,000 tickets in Buffalo, New York and 28,000 tickets in both Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas.
Wayne’s manager Cortez Bryant said the next step was “focusing on the expansion of his global success.”
