Grammy-nominated multi-platinum artist today shares the swaggering new single “Angles” on Warner Records. With flirty wordplay and an anthemic hook, the song feels ready-made for soundtrack summer parties. It’s also a reminder of the D.C. stalwart’s knack for making sunny, romantic rap hits. Listen to “Angles” HERE.
Spitting over a bouncy OG Parker beat that borrows from the classic Diddy, Loon, and Usher record “I Need a Girl,” Wale offers memorable wordplay and quippy pickups. “You saying the universe ain’t grateful,” he raps. “I’ll put Infinity Stones on all your fingers.” Elsewhere on the track, he gets more serious, contemplating his feelings. "Maybe, I got your heart,” he raps. “Maybe I can't love you, ’cause I don't know where to start.”
“Angles” follows a long history of affecting collaborations for Wale. In November, he shared the bittersweet “Flawed” with Gunna. And in 2019, his sixth studio album Wow...That’s Crazy spawned the RIAA 2x platinum single “On Chill” featuring Jeremih, which received a 2020 BET Award nomination for "Best Collaboration" and reached #1 on Urban, Rhythm, and R&B Radio Charts. The Grammy-nominated artist’s list of accolades and accomplishments grows every year. Songs like “Angles” demonstrate the sort of dynamic lyricism and memorable songwriting that have led fans and critics to connect to him all along. His raw romanticism will surely continue to resonate as this song rings out all summer long. Aside from music, Wale has tapped into acting and has been featured on the Starz hit show American Gods and will star in the upcoming Michael Bay film Ambulance. In connection with the WWE, the lyricist has also collaborated with Foot Locker and Footaction for his annual WaleMania which merges music, sports, fashion, and entertainment.
ABOUT WALE
There’s only one Wale. Since arriving in 2006, he has consistently gone against the grain. An old school lyricist with new school energy, otherworldly hooks, and a sense of irony tailormade for its own Seinfeld episode, he instantly set himself apart. 2008’s inventive Mixtape About Nothing cemented him as a critical favorite and preceded his 2009 major label debut Attention Deficit. Bowing at #2 on the Billboard Top 200, the now-classic and gold-certified Ambition yielded the GRAMMY® Award-nominated, platinum-selling “Lotus Flower Bomb.” Two more blockbusters followed as The Gifted [2013] and The Album About Nothing [2015] both crashed the Billboard Top 200 at #1 back-to-back.
Wale continued to drop heat on Shine [2017], which gave the world the RIAA certified platinum “My PYT.” The release of Wale’s 6th studio album Wow...That’s Crazy spawned the #1 double-platinum single “On Chill” ft. Jeremih, which received a 2020 BET Award nomination for "Best Collaboration". Along the way, Wale performed for NPR’s Tiny Desk concert and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. He’s covered magazines such as Complex, Billboard, XXL, and Vibe, and would receive honors at the BET Awards, BET Hip-Hop Awards, Soul Train Awards, and more. To date, Wale has achieved four platinum or multi-platinum singles, three gold singles, and two gold albums.
