You pronounce his name Wah-Lay! Born the son of Nigerian immigrants and raised in our nations capital (Washington D.C.), Wale was exposed to all sorts of music growing up that has helped to influence his unique sound. Grammy-nominated and award winning artist, Wale, will release his highly anticipated new album, THE GIFTED. The album follows up Wale's #1 debuting sophomore album AMBITION, which produced the Grammy nominated, award winning, certified Gold single quot;Lotus Flower Bombquot; featuring Miguel.
The Gifted is the third album proper from Wale, the Washington, D.C.-born rapper who got his initial break when Mark Ronson oversaw the recording of his 2009 debut, Attention Deficit. It includes "Bad," his charting collaboration with the gifted, Indiana-born vocalist Tiara Thomas and features production from Kelson Camp. ~ James Wilkinson, Rovi
