Wale announced that after reaching 80,00 followers on Twitter, he would release a new song. Though the track will not be featured on his upcoming Attention Deficit it is a track worth listening to. Wale stated that it was not good enough to be featured on his upcoming album, which to me, says that Attention Deficitwill be amazing. Link for Ice & Rain, produced by Cool & Dre, is below.
It looks like Wale’s Attention Deficit artwork has finally been released. Personally, I think that the album artwork is cool, but I was not expecting it to be like this. Then again, when does Wale ever do anything we expect?
October 20th folks, go support one of the DMV’s finest, Wale.
Check out the full cover after the break and leave some thoughts.

Below, you can check out an interview with DC’s, Wale, where Soul Culture TV picks his brain about his the title of his debut album, Attention Deficit, his lack of filter, his Nigerian heritage and the topic of black-on-black prejudice that he touched on on his track with Chrisette Michele.
SoulCulture Caught Up with Wale during his recent trip to London. Highlighted last winter by XXL magazine as one of the “Class of 2009” to watch out for, Wale discusses the initial title of his upcoming album before it was called Attention Deficit, his Nigerian pride and heritage, being true to self and the subject matter of his collaboration with Chrisette Michele.
In the interview below, Wale chops it up covering topics of his music being pigeon-holed, how Mark Ronson is not easily impressed, his impression of Jay-Z, how his passion is to get back to timeless music making and much more, along with an exclusive freestyle.
After the fire alarm in Wale’s hotel. We went over to Hyde Park to do an interview. In this interview Wale speaks on his music being piegon holed and how he deals with that. We talk about how he feels frustrated by Mark Ronson not being easily impressed. He does his own impression of Jay-Z’s screwface. He tells me he wants to get back to timeless music, music that the genre can be proud of. He also kicks an off the dome freestyle for the UK.
It seems as if Wale is continuing his attempt to break music barriers on his new album, as said in his latest BET interview. Produced by the Apple Juice Kid, Wale’s latest joint, My Sweetie, though in rough version form, gives up a glimpse into what to expect from his upcoming album, Attention Deficit. Check it out below.
