Nearly a year ago, Wale started the commercial campaign for his SHINE album, with the hit-single “My PYT.” The DMV rapper would continue to share sporadic tracks, with no release date announcement from MMG. However, J. Cole gave him inspiration, with the viral constructive criticism track, “False Prophets.” Folarin immediately dropped one of the most underrated tracks last year, “Groundhog Day,” showcasing he still had elite rhyme ability – for those in doubt.
Well, last night, he held an album premiere listening party in Manhattan, and confirmed that the new project would be arriving a week earlier than expected. Tonight, he drops the new effort; which has features from the likes of Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, G-Eazy, Chris Brown and others.
Take a listen to the entire 14-track album above.
