No Ceilings 3 [A-Side] Tracklist
No Ceilings 3 is the third installment in Lil Wayne’s beloved “No Ceilings” mixtape series, following 2009’s No Ceilings and 2015’s No Ceilings 2. This installment is the first in the series to be hosted by a DJ, specifically DJ Khaled. The mixtape has guest appearances from close friend Drake, former adversary Young Thug, Wayne’s three sons (Young Carter, Lil Tune, and Young Kam Karter), and the usual Wayne mixtape batch of Young Money signees such as Gudda Gudda, Euro, Cory Gunz, and Jay Jones. This tape shows Wayne lyrically freewheeling over recent hits from artists like Lil Baby, DaBaby, Pop Smoke, Travis Scott, Drake, Future, Polo G, 24kGoldn, and more.
The mixtape’s YouTube playlist is billed as “No Ceilings 3 A Side”, suggesting a potential B side coming soon. At the end of the mixtape, Khaled confirmed this, saying a Part 2 was on the way. When No Ceilings 3 was previewed, a total of 36 tracks were shown, so the second disc will likely bear 16 songs.
“No Ceilings 3 [A-Side]” Q&A

How smooth was the mixtape's release?
No Ceilings 3’s release was unsurprisingly rocky but still more solid than Wayne’s releases usually are. Upon releasing on DatPiff, the fervent hype for the mixtape overloaded the site’s servers for more than an hour. When the mixtape was released on DatPiff, it was simultaneously uploaded to YouTube without the DatPiff tags and more accurate song titles & feature credits. However, due to an error, the video for “Kam” initially played audio from “Kamila” instead. This was fixed within a few hours. The YouTube description for the mixtape also referred to the mixtape as the “A Side,” implying a “B Side” will be on the way.
Three days after the mixtape was released, a Khaled-less version of “B.B. King Freestyle” was released on streaming services as a single.

Why isn't this album on the streaming services?
This is a mixtape full of remixes to other songs. It will not be released to streaming services because there would be too many samples to clear.
