I’m proud. The album came out. People love it. No regrets. Wale’s the type of artist who is bigger than the metrics (radio) say
he is. That puts the label in a tough position in terms of physical distribution and because of Twitter and social media, we are able to hear direct feedback from the fans about the problems they had actually finding the CD. But people still supported and 64% of Wale’s sales came from digital outlets which makes sense for Wale. It’s a testament to Interscope and their confidence in Wale’s brand that they put the record out without a big single. Get ready for album #2. Shout out to Interscope, Allido, Roc Nation and everyone who contributed to making this possible

Hey NYC — be sure to come out to BK tonight and see me (DDoff) spin at Beauty Bar. It should be an Elitastic time, ya smell me?
It’s only appropriate to offer you a sneak peek of what you might hear tonight, so check out the continuous mix below. Not only do you get this fresh set, but this is also the first unleashing of Wale and K’naan’s instant classic “TV in the Radio,” produced by Dave Sitek.
If you’re a fan of The Hood Internet, some of the mash-ups thrown in there may be familiar to you. Shouts to ABX and STV SLV!

In celebration of my first CMJ showcase, presented with Puma and NUE Agency, I thought it’d be fitting to have my man DJ Benzi put together a mixtape featuring Elitaste artists (Wale, Mike Posner, Shawn Chrystopher, PRGz, Frontrunner) as well as everyone on the bill for CMJ. Featuring new, old and exclusive tracks from Mike Posner, Wale, Camp Lo, Theophilus London and more, this mixtape will not only get you hype for the showcase, but will carry you through a cold winter. Enjoy!
