Dedication 3 is a mixtape by
DJ Drama and
Lil Wayne. It is the sequel to its predecessors,
The Dedication and the highly successful
Dedication 2, becoming the third in Lil Wayne's "Gangsta Grillz"
pentalogy. Lil Wayne also told MTV, "
Tha Carter IV is nice but you need to be looking for
Dedication 3". Although
Dedication 3 was a major success, it failed to match that of its predecessors but did gain some attention. The mixtape has sold over 70,000 copies in the United States, despite being available for free download. Besides the interludes, a majority of the mixtape has Wayne using
auto-tune and rapping alongside artists signed to his label,
Young Money Entertainment.
