hot: WALE

"Do It For The Capital, Wale Ovechkin"

I've been feeling Wale's Beast of the Beltway Mixtape for a while, especially his "We Are Your Friends" remix, which single handedly reminded me how sick the Justice remix of Simian was when it first dropped. DC's finest crushes the French electro banger, but that's not all he has to offer. This morning Wale released his latest mixtape, an ode to Seinfeld titled A Mixtape About Nothing. One of the undisputed highlights of the mixtape is a collaboration with Bun B (of UGK) and Pusha T (of Clipse). If Ghostface were included this would probably be the sickest track of the year, although even without him this ones slated to be bumping from old skool Civics all summer long. The mix includes the hilariously titled "The Cliche Lil Wayne Feature (It's The Remix Baby)", the B-More killer "The B-More Club Slam" and a track featuring the Budos Band. Wale also crushes, and I do mean crushes, "Roc Boys." Cop it for free at Elitaste. Word up.
