Wale opens up about his new album, MMG collaborations, and more.
He also opens up about one of the key differences this time around, explaining that he’s had to carry the bulk of the load himself. “It’s stressful as hell, but it’s part of the game.” When asked whether he’s referring to the A&R and marketing angle, Wale elaborates. “A lot of little things I ain’t used to doing,” he says. “It’s draining. But it’s all in the name of making good music. I’m very overanalytical of every crevice, every pocket, every mix, every sound. It’s to my detriment at times.”
Wale proceeds to confirm he’s got Bryson Tiller and Lil Durk collaborations on the project, and teases a few collaborations with Meek Mill and Rick Ross. “We got joints now,” says a smiling Wale. “Got a couple songs with Meek, a couple songs with Ross. We trying to make sense of it in the grand scheme of the album.” Look for the untitled Wale album, set to arrive “shortly,” whatever that might mean.
