WTF is up w/ Wale????

D.C.'s own Wale is the most popular, unsigned rapper making music right now. Everyone knows him yet he's still a vitrual unknown.

With his latest release "The mixtape about nothing", your boy Wale definitely is saying something big.

(Which you can download for FREE at http://10deep.com/WALEDANCE)

Also check him out on the new Roots joint "Rise up" (see below).

Blessed with production from the infamous Mark Ronson, of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" fame, and several other heavy hitters, Wale uses a heavy go-go influcence, which was virtually unheard of from a hip hop standpoint. Never before has an MC used go-go in a way that can appeal to the masses who've never even heard it before. The beats are heavily laced with base drums, the swing song of the trumpets, and some conga drums on the side. Very nice.

Wale is a great lyrical MC (FINALLY!!!!).

My fav song: Nike Boots , a tale about making it through hard times. ("Through all our troubles, we still walk around "flyer then the rest of em")

Dope lines: I'm only a fighter in the form of a writer, in the form of a poet, potency in the mic.

and

Slightly pass em like the letter N

Peep Wale's myspace page: Myspace.com/wale202 and check out Wale and a WHOLE lot of other dope MC's at the Rock the Bells festival.

Another dope thing about Wale is the fact that you can download his mixtapes for FREE and LEGALLY. He's about getting the music out to the people and who can be mad at that.
