I'm shocked that there are still some people who don't know who this guy is! When he released "Nike Boots" with Lil Wayne on the remix he definitley made a name for himself.
Earlier this year he dropped one of the hottest mixtapes I have heard in a long time. Titled "Back to the Feature" this 22 track mixtape Produced by the infamous 9th Wonder includes appearance from Joe Budden, Currensy, Talib Kweli and Bun B. JUST TO NAME A FEW. Mainstream these days... yes... but Wale stays true to his roots. You can definitely hear some of that DC classic "GOGO" vibe in some of the songs. "Night Life" and "Sweatin out Weaves" are both reminiscent of the "gogo" vibe in my opinion.
Upon releasing a single [Chillin ft. Lady Gaga] from the upcoming album- Attention Deficit, Wale has certainly gotten some attention. He performed as the house band on this years MTV Video Music Awards. Also he has joined the College Tour featuring Jay Z, J. Cole and N.E.R.D. Has he yet gotten the respect he deserves? I think not. Im excited to hear Attention Deficit... I imagine it will be like another breath of fresh air as Lupe Fiasco was for me! Attention Deficit is set to be released on Nov 3rd via Mark Ronson's label Allido which is subsidiary to Interscope. Features include Chrisette Michelle and Jazmine Sullivan and then some with the production of Mark Ronson, Cool & Dre and Scyence
