Wale is back and he’s moving different. With his new project Everything Is A Lot, the DMV legend drops a 52-minute reminder of why he’s been one of the most essential voices in hip-hop for over a decade. This is Wale in rare form, tapped into the essence, the pen, the precision, and the passion that made us fall in love with him from the very beginning. Fresh off the momentum of his Second Annual Gifted Week and gearing up for his massive concert at The Anthem in SW, DC, Wale slid this body of work right into our laps like a love letter to the culture, the craft, and the creators grinding through the chaos. The project speaks to the core of every artist navigating today’s world while celebrating why the DMV continues to hold the crown for the most unique, dynamic cultural sound in music.
Featuring a heavyweight lineup, Teni, BNYX, Odeal, Andra Day, Ty Dolla $ign, Nino Paid, Shaboozey, Leon Thomas, and more, the album is proof that artists everywhere trust Wale as a steward of hip-hop, a curator of feeling, and a guardian of real artistry.
The Media Prince Approved standouts are, “Belly,” “Fly Away,” “Blanco,” “Corner Bottles,” and the masterpiece “Tomorrow Today”, showcase Wale cruising through flows, flexing his pen, and skating across production like somebody who knows exactly who he is and what he contributes to the game.
And after sitting with him last night during the State of Black Media Panel, Presented By WABJ, EQT, & Wale, it hit me even harder: Wale is not just an artist from DC, he is a pillar, a blueprint builder and a narrative shaper. He has helped define the sound, the swagger, and the soul of the DMV in ways that continue to open doors for the next wave.
