Lil Wayne, who just dropped his new mixtape,Dedication 4,will perform the new single off of it called "No Worries," featuring Detail. This song will more than likely fall on Wayne's new album,I Am Not A Human Being 2.

Another rapper making his VMA debut will be A$AP Rocky, who will be performing his remix of "Cockiness" with Rihanna. You can listen to that remix right here.
