First off, sorry to everyone who's been waiting for a new post. (Everyone being mostly my sister, the only loyal reader of the blog who is not also a contributor.) I started a new gig and was traveling, so I didn't have a lot of time to post. No more excuses. Here's a new one.
Wale - W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.
Wale (pronounced Wall-lay) is a hip-hop artist from Washington, D.C. This video is a take on one of my favorite songs / videos of last year, posted below.
Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
You'll notice a Seinfeld visual in Wale's version. This is a reference to his recently released mixtape, The Mixtape About Nothing. You can stream / download the whole thing here. I've only listened to a little bit of the release, but so far, I really like what I hear. Good beats, good lyrics, a lot of pop culture references.
The mixtape also features a song which was on the recently released Roots album. Video below.
The Roots - Rising Up (Feat. Wale & Chrisette Michele)
P.S. Wale's cousin played Chris Partlow on The Wire - quite possibly the best TV show ever created.
Insert clever sign off here.
