[Thee Aries @GiftedAsia]

A lack of consideration at our big age is not only a choice but it’s a serious character flaw.

[pamela ☁️☀️🛸 @tisthepamseason]

should be required to go back and do it for every concert that hasn’t had fair pricing (all of them)

[A @bijouxox]

Trust your intuition.

Black women are 3x more likely to die of pregnancy complications. This neglect is systemic racism

@Wale never disappoint. The album is fire

[Joey @gothamhiphop]

Yeah this album is great. We talk a lot of about mainstream music lacking substance, and then on the flip side, lyricists that can’t make a good song. Well, Wale blends the content with the melodies perfectly on this album, so much so that I caught myself singing along and realized how heavy the lyrics were despite the catchiness of the tune. That’s really good songwriting lol

The soundscape of this project is so diverse, from classic upbeat MMG production like ‘Michael Fredo’ to Afrobeats to country to R&B, the sound is a rollercoaster to some degree, reflecting the chaos of life but finding peace within the noise (like the themes of the album). Expert sequencing makes the album feel cohesive and the production never feels out of place.

The features on this album are amazing, my favorites were Leon Thomas, Odeal & Andra Day.

The highlight of this project to me is Wale’s relatability, perhaps his biggest superpower. He’s a great writer, and his words paint pictures but are direct enough to hit the listener in their heart. This project is VULNERABLE and it will be the lines about mental health, about wrestling with what the world gives you, about navigating relationships - those are the lines I’m going to remember for a long time.

Welcome back Wale.
