Don’t get too comfortable thinking of Lil’ Wayne as just an MC; the Young Money millionaire can now add champagne merchant to his list of “a milli” projects he’s been dabbling in lately.  The superstar rapper will be introducing his new champagne, Halo, to the world in the fall.

Weezy’s top shelf bubbly will feature four variations of champagne. Halo Brut offers a golden blush with a lemon cream and roasted hazelnut flavor with a citrusy finish, while Halo Brut Vintage presents a sparkling amalgamation of almonds and lemon blossoms with a creamy consistency.  The third champagne, Halo Rose, is blended with the delightful aromas of crushed raspberries, mint and pomegranate that will remind wine aficionados of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Halo Pinnacle is a Chardonnay laden with the texture of pure fruit, and the taste of lime-tree flowers and roasted hazelnuts is very noticeable.

Three weeks ago, Weezy’s sixth solo album, Tha Carter III went platinum in its first week. He is also filming a project alongside Forest Whitaker called Hurricane Seasons (formerly titled, The Patriot). It’s no wonder the biggest rapper on the planet would want to get in the champagne business. “Champagne is for celebrating,” Lil’ Wayne said in a statement regarding his top shelf project.  “I’m ready to put my foot in a new door. There are so many different business opportunities; I want to take advantage of it all.”
