As Grammy-nominated rapper Wale readies his upcoming album, slated for release this Summer, he gives fans a taste of what to expect with his lead single, "Bad," which was named one of Spotify's top 10 viral tracks. Wale’s sophomore gold album Ambition, released in 2011, generated a #1 urban record and certified Gold single with “Lotus Flower Bomb” featuring Miguel, and also earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song. Wale has released a series of critically acclaimed mixtapes and received praise for his debut album, Attention Deficit, with Billboard stating, “Wale owns the distinction of being the most well-rounded of hip-hop’s latest class…” and recognized by Paper Magazine as “hip-hop’s hungriest mind and most incisive tongue…[his] raps are some of the most playfully sophisticated in the industry.”
