First single from Lil Wayne rock album leaks

Spoiler alert: it's not very good

Lil Wayne: he rocks, but not very well.

Prom Queen, the first track from US rapper Lil Wayne's forthcoming rock album Rebirth, has leaked onto the internet.

The song can currently be heard on YouTube, though we suspect that it may be taken down fairly soon (which may actually be a blessing).

Featuring heavy guitars and the currently omnipresent hard Auto-Tuned vocal sound that has become one of Lil Wayne's trademarks, Prom Queen doesn't exactly bode well for his forthcoming long-player.

In fact, if we're being honest, we have to say that we think the song stinks (do let us know if you disagree, though).

Lil Wayne isn't the first hip-hop star to step out of his comfort zone recently. Kanye West threw a major curve ball when he released his 'pop art' album (his words, not ours) 808s & Heartbreak late in 2008.
