Sure, it sold well, but much of it could’ve been pieced together by any of the bosses in the MMG factory. The Gifted – due out on June 25th – is the first one to feel like Wale himself masterminded it.Īt a private preview held at the Atlantic offices last week, MMG’s A&R Dallas Martin introduced the project by noting Wale’s intention to recall his D.C. roots, citing late hometown hero Chuck Brown, the Godfather of Go-Go. Other notable tracks include “Hella,” with YG and Dom Kennedy, which has the feeling of Beyonce’s “Party” set on West Coast Customs shocks “Sunshine,” a Spanish Harlem-tinged number that involves cowbell and the outro, where Wale says, sneering, “Where your keys at, playboy?

The album’s second single is all finger snaps and a capella vocal pops, reminiscent of Marvin Gaye or “Beijo” by Earth, Wind & Fire.
