If there was any confusion remaining about whether Weezy's long-delayed new album, Rebirth, would really take him to the rock side, the full-album leak of the disc on Wednesday put those questions to rest.

Just hours after news emerged that around 500 Amazon.com customers who had pre-ordered the album had received it this week — despite the recent push back of the official street date to February 1 — the full 12-track effort began popping up on the Internet. While Wayne's label would not comment on the Amazon mix-up and did not return requests for confirmation that the dozen leaked songs are in fact the final track listing for the disc, the mastered-sounding tracks appear to be the final product.

Fans are already familiar with "Drop the World," the scowling, explosive collabo with Eminem that leaked earlier this week, as well as one of the first singles from the disc, the pseudo-metal grinder "Prom Queen," which dropped in January and is one of three songs to feature singer Shanell.

Wayne cements his reputation as one of our most gifted rappers, floating his signature flow on a rainbow galaxy of unexpected musical looks — none of them more out-there than a hook-up with another Young Money star-in-the-making, Nicki Minaj, who trades verses with him on the hyper, No Doubt-like pop ska raver "Knockout."

Have you heard the album? Should the rock star stay, or should Wayne don his signature style once again?

Lil Wayne is finally releasing a follow-up album to his platinum LP, Tha Carter 3. Rebirth was originally slated to hit stores last April, but his new rock-esque album will now go on sale December 15th. The album's lead single "Prom Queen" was released in January and didn't receive instant success like Tha Carter 3's "Lollipop."

Hopefully Weezy will have the same level of success on this LP, if he's around to enjoy it that is. Last month, Wayne entered a guilty plea in a two-year-old gun case against him. Weezy admitted to illegally having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007 and is expected to spend a year in jail after his February sentencing. Looks like this album is dropping right on time!
