For this week's spotlight I'm taking you to the nations capital. Introducing Wale, (pronounced Wah-Lay) an emcee from an area where hip hop struggles to hold a flame to the devout house and go-go following. When I'm searching for an artist to spotlight, I take into consideration several factors (talent, content, swagger, etc.) When listening to Wale I immediately recognized his overall talent. The songs on page so his versatility and his ability to mesh his intricate wordplay with a DC sound. Wale is supported by industry vet Kenny Burns, formerly of Rocafella fame and co-owner of the RyanKenny fashion label. He's already been featured in the Source and along with Tabi Bonney he's leading a movement to put DC on the map. Check out a day in his life.
