“Left Atlantic, ’bout a minute later/every record label try and scout me…”

By now, you’ve heard that D.C. star Wale has parted ways with his label Atlantic, and — via his new single — it’s clear that Mr. Folarin has no plans to fall off the radar. This week, he delivers “Staying Power,” which see him continue the lyrical tricks that earned his accolades since his inception:

Representin’ all official n***as
Intelligent, fly, and get b***hes n***a
I tell her to fly, she catch a Delta
Or she RHO, or she get to steppin’
AKA, I be speaking wreckless
’07 my Supreme jacket
AKAs at Virginia State
My second year, I tried to get one pregnant
Early bird, that was Petersburg
Now, my little bird fly to Teterboro…

Check out Wale’s latest below. Also added for those that missed it: his Valentine’s Day release, “All Star Break Up.”
