Posted by Nathan S. on 08/03/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, Wale

After some possibly overdone hype, we finally get Wale's latest quasi-Seinfeld inspired project "More About Nothing". All week I've been asking if this project will be better than "Attention Deficit", and frankly, it's way, way too early to tell. Corrected zip file and faster download link included. You're welcome.

Wale’s Looking for That “Black and Gold” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/02/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Wale

Um......... A lead single is supposed to get you excited about the release of a project, but Wale's latest "Black and Gold" is having the opposite effect on me. After hearing "Eyes of the Tiger" I was stoked to hear Wale's latest mixtape "More About Nothing". Then "Ambitious Girl" dropped, and even though I wasn't feeling it as much, I thought it was cool. But "Black and Gold"? See more...

Wale Loves an “Ambitious Girl” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/29/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Wale

Apparently a lot of rappers are falling all over themselves to pay for thousand dollar hand bags. Why? I don't know. I'd much rather have an "Ambitious Girl" who can take care of her own, and Wale agrees with me. On his new mixtape track, Waleezy gets on his spoken word tip and lays down an anthem to independent women that's as quality as "Independent" was annoying. Listen and download...

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/09/10 | Filed under Downloads, Wale, Phil Ade, STS, KingPen Slim

It's dope to watch a talented rapper build some serious momentum, and anyone who keeps their eyes and ears locked the hip-hop internets has surely begun to come across the name KingPen Slim more and more often. Having first hit our pages alongside Jim Jones for the cinematic "Life Is a Movie", Slim is back with his new single "The Way You Move". Listen and download...

Tabi Bonney & Wale are “Killer People” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/21/10 | Filed under Downloads, Wale, Tabi Bonney

Could Tabi Bonney be the next big DMV rapper? Um, maybe? On the one hand if he keeps dropping banging, addictive cuts like his new single "Killer" the man could definitely make some serious noise, but on a purely emcee level he's frankly just not at Wale's level, as we clearly hear thanks to a Olubowale Victor Akintimehin guest verse.

In order, the remix features Raekwon, Wale, Tabi Bonney and Raheem DeVaughn. Just call them the Fantastic Five. Listen and download...

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/03/10 | Filed under Videos, Wale

Now that Wale's done with his bid for mainstream radio play (a.k.a. the controversial "Pretty Girls" video) the biggest rap star in D.C. history is moving onto visuals for what many, including me, consider one of the best tracks off his "Attention Deficit" album, "Diary". You might want to get some Keenex our ladies, this one might just make you cry. See more...

Skin Color Controversy Surrounds Wale’s “Pretty Girls” Video

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/09/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Videos, Wale

Wale's "Pretty Girls" video has been a long time coming, but somehow I don't think this is how Wale pictured the release going. While on the surface "Pretty Girls" is a fun but relatively unremarkable video, it's sparked a raging controversy over the absence of dark skinned women. Oops. See more...

Posted by Richard on 12/22/09 | Filed under Features, Drake, XV, J. Cole, Kid Cudi, Wale

We don’t like to brag, but if Vegas took odds on which rappers are set to make it big, we’d be swimming in gold like Scrooge McDuck.

After polling each of our staff members individually and tabulating the results, we've come up with a quick breakdown of the three artists that broke through the biggest in 2009, and two more that are set to blow up bigger than Oprah’s bank account in 2010.
