Lil Wayne will give fans another reason to celebrate when he leaves prison on November 5 - he's planning to release the follow-up to his hit album "Tha Carter III" on the same day.
 
The hitmaker, real name Dwayne Carter, Jr., has been serving time at New York's tough Rikers Island prison since March, after pleading guilty to charges of gun possession.
 
He's expected to walk free from jail on November 5 after serving just eight months of his year-long sentence, providing he continues to abide by jail rules and regulations.
 
But he's refused to let his legal problems silence his music. Young Money Crew president, record label boss Mack Maine, has confirmed Wayne has been working hard behind bars, on the song selection for "Tha Carter IV."
 
Maine tells MTV News, "Tha Carter IV plans we had and still have are to put Tha Carter IV out the day he comes out (of prison). He had so many songs for Tha Carter IV, we said let's just put these 10 songs out (on I Am Not a Human Being) and double-back for Tha Carter IV. He has more songs for Tha Carter IV that are still strong."
 
Wayne previously vowed to release "Tha Carter IV" in late 2009, following the success of 2008's "Tha Carter III," which sold more than one million copies in the U.S. in its first week of release.
 
But the album isn't the only release label bosses have planned - Wayne's new EP "I Am Not a Human Being" will be available for digital download when the rapper turns 28 on September 27.
