FROM WALE:
So I wanted to make a mixtape that was different than any of my previous mixtapes. Paint A Picture and Hate Is The New Love were my first two when I was just the young, hungry rapper from MD by way of DC. I was just trying to show I could spit. I truthfully had no direction, I just wanted people to hear me. 100 Miles & Running was after I hired a manager and linked up with Catchdubs, so we went about creating something a little more cohesive showing I could create “intelligent” rap but it was just my mellow mood; some chill shit. The Mixtape About Nothing was showing that I could do a concept album/mixtape. I appreciate the love and critical acclaim I have gotten for it but Back To The Feature is taking it back to the fun days in hip hop when artists worked with each other for the love and not for the checks or politics. It’s an easy listen; no controversy, no dramatic records. It’s pure hip hop from artists that love to listen to. It’s collaborations with me and other artists like Joe Budden, Currensy, Joell Ortiz, Tre frm UCB, Drake, Bun B, J Cole, Talib Kweli, Royce the 5′9″, XO, Kenn Starr and many others. Here’s another leak:

Saw her in concert last night. Kanye was there. Perez Hilton was there. And randomly, Lil Jon was there. She was amazing. Hate all you want, this girl is legit and here to stay. Vincent Herbert presented her with a triple platinum plaque for “Just Dance” and Perez crowned her the Princess of Pop. Her live show is great, she sounds amazing live and she writes/plays the piano. We are very lucky to have her on the debut single. Hopefully this is the first of many things Wale and Gaga do together. I recommend seeing her when she comes through your town.

FROM METALLUNGIES.COM:
Wale x elitaste x ML is back at the live blogging thing, but we’re kicking it up a notch. Ever since hearing Wale dub himself Wale Ovechkin on Back In the Go Go , we wondered how perfect it would be to document Wale’s experience at a Washington Capitals game. With major assists from elitaste, dcsports bog and Nate with the Washington Capitals, we are gonna make it happen. Right before Wale goes into his crazy busy week, join us right here at a little before 7pm tomorrow as Wale, DMV legend Jay Promo, and myself live blog Wale Ovechkin’s first Capitals game, followed by meeting Capitals Superstars Alex Ovechkin & Mike Green after the game. Using our coveritlive widget you’ll be able to interact, ask questions, and follow this whole experience. If you’ll be at the game be sure to say what up!
Video / Photos will be posted up after the game, so be sure to check back for those as well!
