Dear Wale

Finally, Wale, finally!! It seemed like it took you forever to get to this point, where you're exposure is getting on the level of a mainstream artist. You tweeted (can't give credence to it, because I didn't see it) that this track, "Chillin" is number 8 on Hot 97's Top 8 at 8, which is dope. You're finally pushing out tracks for "Back to the Feature," which should have been out a few months ago (see below). And you're finally touring like a big name act should. Now if only we could get you to stop fucking with those dreads. Just because you're a DC nigga, doesn't mean you have to do everything DC niggas do. If that were the rule of thumb, subtract 100 years of black progress. But that's neither here nor there. Readers, peep the video for "Chillin" above, and an interview with Rik Cordero where Wale discusses his new track "Family Affair," which will be on "Back to the Feature."
