Dedication 2 (Gangsta Grillz) released in 2006 with heavily crunked out remixes of popular hits courtesy of Drama and lyrics provided by Wayne along with a slew of many of other rappers. The mixtape featured many artists that were currently signed to Waynes label, Young Money. Among them were Curren$y, Remy Ma, Freeway, Willie The Kid, Detroit Red, Juice, Mack Maine, Pharrell and Juelz Santana delivering raw intensity with phenomenal flow. Assisting Drama with production were Don Cannon, DJ Green Lantern, DJ Infamous, Swizz Beatz, Pimp C, and many more. Tom Breihan of The Village Voice proclaimed it the best summer album of 2006, praising DJ Drama's "impeccable beat selection". "SportsCenter" was complimented for its "free associating brain bursts." "Georgia... Bush" was also acclaimed for its "mesmerizing indictment" of President Bush.
Following up in the Dedication series yet again, Drama and Wayne release Dedication 3 (Gangsta Grillz) in 2008. 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. Wayne continued to promote his own artists on this album. Returning MC's consisted of Willie the Kid and Mack Maine along with newcomers like Drake and Nicki Minaj. Returning producers included Don Cannon and Pimp C. Production was also assisted by newcomers like Soulja Boy and David Banner.
While both Drama and Wayne have continued their own respective careers, it has been said that Dedication 4 is in the works.

She gonna hold me down if the Feds come and get me.
And I'm a make her f**k the judge for a lighter sentence
Yea the Devil Wears Prada Bitch and she riden for me you don't want problems bitch
She about it bitch and she keep it real and she owns two twin pumps like a pair of heels.

The song "She's A Ryder" by DJ Drama and Lil Wayne featuring Gudda Gudda is a hip-hop track that talks about a woman whose loyalty and dedication to her man are unmatched. The chorus repeatedly refers to her as a “ryder” which is a term used for a reliable or trustworthy person. The song starts with Lil Wayne stating that the listener has been warned about his girl. The repeated emphasis on her being a “killa” and “bad” signals that she is not to be trifled with.
Guada Guada’s verse further strengthens the image of the woman being described in the song. He talks about how she is willing to ride for him, going to any length to protect him even if it involves illegal activities. She is rich, carries herself with poise and is a calculated risk-taker who is not afraid of the consequences of her actions.
The last verse sees Lil Wayne echoing Gudda Gudda’s sentiment that the woman in question is his ride or die, a woman who has been there for him through thick and thin. Taken together, these lyrics paint a picture of a formidable woman who is fiercely loyal to her partner, even if it means bending societal norms.
