The Numbers Game: Wale Is #21
Being that I was the one who reviewed Wale’s debut album, Attention Deficit, I guess it’s only right that I get to speak on it’s chart debut (I do all The Numbers Games anyway, but still…)
Wale|Attention Deficit
When the Hip-Hop world thinks of Olubowale Victor Folarin, aka Wale, the first thing that may come to mind is DC. And then maybe Maryland and Virginia. And then Go-Go music. Yep, Wale has been waving the DMV flag hard ever since
BET Hip Hop Awards 2009: The Cyphers

Wale|The Mixtape About Nothing [Mixtape]
We usually don’t post all the latest mixtapes and what not, but I was up late and…you know. I’m glad Wale finally dropped the The Mixtape About Nothing. I been waiting for this every since I heard “Back In The Go Go”. It’s funny what gets you a buzz in today’s Hip-Hop/Rap game, but it’s [...]
