Ruby Hornet Interviews Wale (Video)

RH TV: Interview With Wale At The Sprite Step-Off from Ruby Hornet on Vimeo.

RH went in depth with Wale about his upbringing and cultural influences ranging from Houston, Chicago and his hometown D.C. Then RH threw him some softballs until he owned up to rocking  “MMMbop” (forgive me.) That may cause some fans to raise an eyebrow but at least he doesn’t seem embarrassed about it. Anyway look forward to some more singles from Attention Deficit as Wale plans on promoting his debut album further this year.

Wale “Beast (prod. 9th Wonder)”

Here’s a new cut that didn’t make the cut on Wale’s Attention Deficit album. Produced by 9th Wonder, it’s got a nice groove going, but I’m hardly surprised it was left off the album. (okayplayer)

Wale – “Center of Attention” (MP3)

So Wale’s “Attention Deficit” has been out since Tuesday and I haven’t copped it yet. So right now this song, while good, is serving as a (nagging) reminder to buy it. It’s an iTunes bonus so it’s not like I’m cheating by checking it out. But it’s pretty dope considering most “bonus” tracks aren’t that great anyway. Hear it for yourself thanks to prefix.

Wale – Back Into Go Mode

It is not very often that an emerging artist is traditional enough to swiftly gain support but unique enough to be in a class of their own. Then again, it takes a special something to land on our 150th issue cover before even having an album out. For people in the know, Wale is far from a “new” artist. Delivering rock-solid mixtapes and now a phenomenal debut album to the masses, this D.C. champion has been someone to pay attention to for a while now. We caught up with the URB favorite to talk Attention Deficit, touring with Jay-Z and Africa.


URB: First and foremost, the album is very very good. You should be very proud…
Wale: Thank you so much man. I appreciate it.


Yeah, it’s great. I mean, I’ve been a fan of you since the 100 Miles and Runnin’ mixtape. …

Wale – Attention Deficit (Review)

Wale

Attention Deficit

Released by Interscope/Allido Records


With so many young faces emerging in the landscape of hip-hop right now—whether they be under a veteran’s wing or “cookin’ up dat piff” in their momma’s basement—it is extremely easy for both listeners and musical hopefuls to become inundated. Over the years however, it seems that a schism between new and old has emerged: too many new artists develop a style based on a successful artist instead of cultivating their own sound. While a very unfortunate thing to see, especially in a genre where there is “no biting ...
