Rapper Lil Wayne's experimental rock album "Rebirth" will hit music retailers in time for Christmas after experiencing several delays.

The highly-anticipated record was initially due for release in May, but, after it was pushed back more than four times, fans feared the disc would never make it to stores.

Lil Wayne denied rumors record label bosses were attempting to axe the project, blaming the delays on issues with sample clearances and his heavy workload with his own label Young Money.

"Rebirth" is now officially due to be released on December 15 - just in time for the holidays.
