The DC rapper marks his label debut with a powerful and introspective track.
Wale Makes a Triumphant Return with a Deal with Def Jam Recordings
Wale, the Washington, D.C. native, is back and fans couldn't be more excited. It's been years since he released a proper studio album, and the anticipation for new music has been growing. Wale took to Instagram earlier this week to tease his return, sharing a three-part carousel that ended with a message, "My silence has been golden... see you on Friday. Folarin back." The teaser included what seemed to be some lyrics: "There’s no potential in a friendship/That comes with intentions.”
On Thursday, TMZ reported that Wale had secretly signed a deal with Def Jam Recordings several months ago, keeping the news under wraps while he prepared for his comeback. Fans and peers in the music industry are thrilled about Wale's return. Joe Budden, during an episode of his podcast, praised Wale for taking a break from social media and expressed his excitement about the artist's return.
The wait for new music ended when Wale released "Max Julien," his first lead single under the iconic Def Jam Recordings banner. The track was produced by D.Woo, and you can listen to it on various streaming platforms.
Wale's return is making waves in the hip-hop world, and fans are eager to see what he has in store for the future.
