Artist Spotlight: Wale
Wale, born Olubowale Victor Akintimeh, is a Nigerian rapper from the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia, if you didn’t know). He’s been on his music grind ever since he dropped out of Bowie State University, and kind of has a love/hate relationship with his hometown. Since 2006, he’s been rapidly gaining success and underground fame with hits such as Nike Boots and W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. He’s now signed to Interscope Records under the Alido Records Imprint. His 2 most famous mixtapes, “100 Miles and Running”, and especially the Seinfeld-themed “Mixtape About Nothing” garnered him a huge cult following. Fans are now awaiting his major label debut album, which is still untitled, slated for a March 2009 release. In the meantime, peep him on the cover of XXL as one of the 10 Freshman in the Hip Hop game.

Guest Review for Wayne’s Dedication 3
Now we can’t talk about new music without mentioning Lil’ Wayne. In his third collaboration with DJ Drama, Dedication 3 does not disappoint. Besides displaying Wayne’s infamous syrup induced lyrical prowess that we all know and love, D3 introduces us to a crew of up and comers.
“Stuntin” is one of the stand out tracks, featuring Toronto’s very own Drake. Without dropping more than a music video and a mixtape, Drake is already gaining notoriety as the “New Fresh Prince.”
