Wale (It's WAH-LEY you Idiot)

First of all, I really dont know what to say or think about this fool.
I really dont.
No idea.
......................um.........umm.......yeah........okay I got IT!

Wale pretty much has come out of nowhere, busting up on the D.C. "scene" (like there's a scene in D.C. Right) and began getting radio play in 2004 with a single called "Rhyme of the Century" which got Wale in the June 2005 "Unsigned Hype" section of Source magazine and his buzz started growing.

SKIP AHEAD TO THE FUTURE........

In January 2007, Wale released a new single to radio called "Good Girls." Daniel Weisman, who nobody cares about except that he...gave the song to Mark Ronson ("oooh look at me, I'm such an awesome producer, ooooh I AM AWESOME!!!") and on February 23, 2007, Ronson began playing the song on his East Village Radio show.
A week later, at Ronson's studio, Wale recorded a freestyle for Ronson and in exchange, Ronson put Wale on an unreleased remix of Lily Allen's "Smile" which appeared on a number of music blogs (LOLZ...) around the world on March 13th, 2007. In April of 2007, Ronson asked Wale to join him on a UK tour to promote the release of his newest album.

And then...
He releases this song called "Nike Boots"
And then...
The 100 Miles And Running Mixtape
And then....
ITS THE BEST THING IN RAP SINCE WU-TANG...

So without further ado,

100 Miles And Running Mixtape--((full album)) (mixed by Nick Catchdubs)

WARNING: The freestyle on W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E will blow your mind.
handle with care.

All this is aside, this kid is just out-of-this-world-good. Honestly, this is the BEST rap/hiphop mixtape I have ever heard. Ever. Seriously.
And I've heard alot of them.
So, you have been put on due notice for him to blow up.
It's already basically happening, so it's not like nobody's ever heard of him,
but let's just hope he doesn't turn into a pop rapper.

Personal Opnion: I don't think he will.
