Wale’s Attention Deficit may have been somewhat of a disappointed for most (like many a hip hop label debut in the past 2 years), but the D.C., Seinfeld loving rapper is definitely making a strong move by providing a follow-up to his 2008 Mixtape About Nothing. The tape features a new track with Daniel Merriweather [...]

Wale announced today that he is gearing up to release another Seinfeld themed mixtape, More About Nothing (a follow up to 2008’s Mixtape About Nothing), on August 3. Stream/download new track, “Workin’”, below via Nah Right via Wale’s Twitter. #moreaboutnothing hashtag is busy.

Above, Wale’s latest video for Attention Deficit’s “Diary” featuring Marsha Ambrosius, one of the highlights from his 2009 debut. Filmed in Brooklyn, and directed by Rik Cordero. Looks like promo flyers work!

John Mayer is such a douche, but we love him anyway don’t we? This recently leaked Wale track, “Letter,” features Mayerdouche on vocals (and most likely guitar), and includes “letters” to President Obama, 2Pac, and ‘Whom it May Concern.’ The Mark Ronson produced track will be left off of Wale’s upcoming label debut, Attention: Deficit [...]

I could have sworn I’ve been seeing this album art on Wale’s Myspace for months (what happened to this version?), but it was actually never released until this weekend.

Anyway. Hit.

As to be expected, anything with Lady Gaga on it right now is a given. DC’s Wale is set to release his debut, Attention: Deficit, this summer on Allido. One of the heavy favorites from the Class of ‘09 is finally getting a spotlight with “Chillin.” Though Gaga is not featured in the clip above [...]

In case you forgot, I wasn’t at SXSW. So getting little gifts like this in my inbox is both compensating and insulting. Shockhound put together a free download of 12 tracks by artists who played the Levis/FADER Fort in Austin last week, which you can get by clicking here and entering the promo code “LEVISFORT.” [...]

I’ve never heard Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture’s side project, Nickel Eye. From what I can make of it from this Mark Ronson remix of Time Of The Assassins’s “Brandy of the Damned,” this was an error on my part. Fader premiered this track, which features Wale (nextbigthing) – whose debut album is due any day/month [...]
