Wale just dropped his fifth studio album Shine, which he prefaced with a specific mission statement, wanting "an album that was just good for summertime, good for good weather and being with friends." Early listens indicate that Wale accomplished his goal, largely in part to the production, which seems to embody the vibe of summer with airy synths and flute riffs. Standout cut "Scarface Rozay & Gotti" features an homage to the bosses who inspired him, and Wale floats in with an effortless and melodic flow. Featuring name drops that would make Game proud (Lily Allen!?), "Scarface Rozay & Gotti" is a feel-good cut off what's sure to be the soundtrack of many summer nights.
Quotable Lyrics
I came with no sex
Famous, broke as shit
Fader then the Source
Mark Ronson's tour was lit
Have a glass with Lily Allen
Shit, I was really shy then, I would admit
Having no chill at none of the Googles
To having Lady Gaga in my mix
