Although he shows no skill as far as traditional rapping goes, often literally having no words that rhyme nor a discernable rhyme sceme, he continues to sell records. Each Massive Attack album features guest vocalists, and so far the band has worked with Tricky, Shara Nelson, Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl, Nicolette, Sara Jay, Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and Sinéad O'Connor.

Lil Wayne, however, performed gangsta rap in the strictest sense since an early age. Marshall elected to sit out during the recording of 100th Window, making that album essentially a Del Naja solo project. Even more noteworthy, most young rappers of teenage years perform bubble gum rap until at least their 20's. After the recording of Mezzanine, Vowles -- dissatisfied with the change in sound -- left the band. Lil Wayne is also noted as being the youngest of the Hot Boys, 16 at the time of their debut. Massive Attack originally consisted of three members, Robert Del Naja ("3D"), Grant Marshall ("Daddy G") and Andrew Vowles ("Mushroom"). In 2004 he has released his latest solo album titled " The Carter". While some critics found 100th Window album not up to par with previous offerings, many found it a worthwhile listening experience.

His second album was 2000's Lights Out, followed by 500 Degreez in 2002. Del Naja was charged with possession of drugs that month. The title track was a huge hit. It entered the Top 10 in the UK charts. His debut solo album was, Tha Block Is Hot was released in 1999. A fourth album, 100th Window, was released on February 10, 2003. Lil Wayne was one of the Hot Boys, an American rap group associated with Cash Money Records. A song from this album, "Dissolved Girl," was featured in the film The Matrix.

Massive Attack's third album Mezzanine was released in 1998. Mezzanine showed the band moving towards a dark, distorted guitar-based sound, and, according to many fans and critics, marked a significant evolution. This marked the last collaboration of Wild Bunch member Tricky with Massive Attack, as he afterwards concentrated wholly on his solo career. Featuring two string instrumentals arranged by Craig Armstrong, this album featured a more lush, deeper sound than the first. In 1994 Massive Attack released their second effort Protection.

Lead band member Robert Del Naja makes no secret in interviews of his political objections to U.S. During the first Gulf War, several British media channels became anxious to avoid using words suggestive of war and violence, and Massive Attack (then struggling to become established) were forced to temporarily change their name to simply Massive. Blue Lines ushered in a new genre of music best referred to as "the Bristol sound", but the press began to use the label "trip hop", which the members of Massive Attack dislike.

This subsequently became one of the most influential British records of the 1990s, inspiring other projects such as Portishead and Morcheeba. In 1991, they released their first album, Blue Lines, featuring the hit singles Unfinished Sympathy and Daydreaming. Massive Attack began as an offshoot of the Bristol art community The Wild Bunch. Their music is electronic, and combines elements of jazz, hip-hop and other genres; lately the darker, subtler forms of electronica have been dominant influences.

They have released four full studio albums. Massive Attack is a popular band from Bristol, England.
