Wale Talks Label Move, Exchanges with J. Cole on Breakfast Club

Wale recently stopped by The Breakfast Club for the first time since signing a deal with Warner Bros. Records.

In the interview with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God, he opens up about the label move. “I just thought it was time,” he said. “They’re moving in a different direction. I also think that they’re very good at the job, but I think that they specialize is a specific demographic, or sub-genre if you will. I just think it’s time for me to get my own situation and make my own choices.”

Wale also addresses J. Cole’s “False Prophets” record and why as friends, they didn’t have a conversation over the phone instead. “There weren’t no dissing involved,” he said. “Maybe for the shock — maybe he wanted to get it to me another way. Cole always tells me I don’t listen — I think sometimes he don’t listen, but that’s what makes it so close. It’s very raw and uncut.”

He also talks about staying with Maybach Music Group, the music he’s making now, what bothers him about the industry, the impact of his daughter, Drake vs. Pusha T and much more.

Chance the Rapper – Work Out / Wala Cam / I Might Need Security / 65th Ingleside

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chance the Rapper was releasing an official album, before his pending 7-track collaborative effort with Kanye West. Well, Chance unfortunately debunked the story, saying that we weren’t getting an album this week; but said he was still in the studio. Luckily, Chano III kept his word and has blessed the public with four new songs for the summer. Here, you can listen to his new cuts: “ Work Out ” “ Wala Cam ” “ I Might Need Security ” and “ 65th Ingleside ” – serving as an appetizer to the full project later this year. Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho. 😎 — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2018

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
