Looking forward to this. Full Track-by-Track PreviewThere are a few lessons to be learned after hearing D.C. rapper Wale’s Allido/Interscope Records debut, Attention: Deficit: look within before judging others, living to achieve celebrity has its risks, and, most importantly, his name is pronounced Wah-lay. Besides driving home the point that one’s moniker is to be respected, the 24-year-old provides a wealth of teachable moments on his first release.
Gathered amongst a crew of select media and music industry executives in New York City’s Chung King Studios, producer Mark Ronson debuted 11 tracks set to appear on Attention: Deficit. Besides Lady Gaga on the lead single “Chillin’,” guest appearances from Bun B, Gucci Mane, J. Cole, Dap-Kings, K’naan, Jazmine Sullivan, Travis Barker, Marsha Ambrosius, and Melanie Fiona pepper the album, releasing October 20.
“He wanted to tell the story of everything he’s experienced in his 24 years,” Ronson explained before premiering Wale’s tracks. “I think the music speaks for itself.” Attention: Deficit did exactly the opposite of what its title suggested, grabbing a hold of the aural senses.
