Overview

  • The Washington, D.C. rapper will release his eighth studio album on Nov. 14 via Def Jam.
  • It is his first full-length since 2021’s Folarin II and his first LP under Def Jam following his departure from Maybach Music Group.
  • Wale describes the project as one of his most personal works, centering on resilience, self-discovery and the weight of life’s pressures.
  • The rollout includes an emotional teaser and the singles “Blanco” and “Where to Start,” the latter sampling SWV’s “I’m So Into You.”
