Lil Wayne's beloved mixtape series Da Drought is now available on streaming services.

Fans noticed all three installments of Da Drought were uploaded to multiple digital streaming platforms on Tuesday, August 5. Weezy dropped the first mixtape in 2003 via Cash Money with 12 songs featuring freestyles over some of the most popular beats of that time. He followed up with Da Drought 2 in 2004 with 15 tracks and Da Drought 3 in 2007. The third installment holds 28 songs, including "Don't Stop Won't Stop" with Nicki Minaj, "Black Republicans 07" featuring Juelz Santana, and "Presidents Represent Me" with Curren$y.

As if that's not enough, Lil Wayne and DJ Drama's complete Dedication series has also been uploaded to DSPs. Weezy and the Gangsta Grillz founder teamed up for The Dedication in 2005 with 29 tracks featuring Curren$y, Mack Maine, Boo, and B.G. Since then, the duo has dropped six installments including Dedication 6, which arrived in 2017. Da Drought and Dedication are just the latest mixtape series that Lil Wayne has added to streaming services in recent years. He previously debuted No Ceilings and Sorry 4 The Wait on DSPs.

Lil Wayne uploaded his revered mixtapes two months after he dropped Tha Carter VI. The 19-track project contains songs like his LL COOL J-inspired "Bells," "Hip-Hop" featuring BigXthaPlug & Jay Jones, and "Sharks" with Jelly Roll & Big Sean. Wayne also recruited Bono, 2 Chainz, his sons Kameron Carter & Lil Novi, Andrea Bocelli, Wyclef Jean, Mannie Fresh, MGK, and Kodak Black for the album. He celebrated the album's release at his first sold-out show at Madison Square Garden and took the album on the road for his tour with NoCap and Belly Gang Kushington.
