“Text message from Elliott sayin’ tape is dope.” It’s hard not to be bias on this one. With my encouragement, Wale returned to his mixtape roots after his debut album, Attention Deficit didn’t ignite. Be clear: We shut the Internet down on Aug. 3, 2010 when More About Nothing, the super sequel to 2008’s Mixtape About Nothing dropped. Seinfeld samples still intact and the raps are sharp. Mr. Folarin tackles his adversity on the opening rockers (“The MC” and “The […]

Over more than 100k downloads later, he explains to 1515 his experience recording the project and notes a couple of his favorite tracks. “The MC.” “You have to listen to this record. It’s not because I feel it’s the strongest song, but my whole brand is about fly stuff. Women, clothes, hip-hop culture. Everybody from Diddy to Jay — I hate to name-drop — they talk about the show. ‘Have […]

Unless you’ve been under a rock, Wale’s new mixtape, More About Nothing is the talk of the town. This afternoon, he called WPGC and spoke on the reception.
It’s what you all been waitin’ for ain’t it?! No Attention Deficit wasn’t the worldwide smash Wale would’ve liked it to be but what doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger. Mr. Folarin has come back with a strong project that I’m proud to be affiliated with. I really enjoyed More About Nothing and I know you will as well. So learn the words, you might sing this and join us on Aug 16 at the Highline to celebrate […]
Wale’s new mixtape, More About Nothing finally drops tomorrow. But until then, enjoy the project’s lead-off hit produced by Kosmik Kev and DJ Omega. Catch him performing this and more at the Highline Ballroom August 16th. Sidebar: The accompanying commercial. Two more after the jump.
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
