Know your worth . Never let them tell you what you can’t do! I watched them finesse the narrative and “quietly quietly” did my thing .

And the same narrative spinners won’t mention it… because it’s not negative . But the moral of the story is “it’s on now!”

Earlier in the day, Wale and Warner Bros. Records announced their new partnership.

Rapper Wale has joined the Warner Bros. Records roster and is due to release his sixth full-length album in 2018. He arrives at the Warner Music Group label via Rock Ross’ Maybach Music Group and immediately drops a brand new track, “Black Bonnie” (feat. Jacquees), today. Wale’s previous three albums were released by Atlantic Records, a subsidiary of WMG, so his WBR deal is a homecoming of sorts. (Variety)

Wale issued a statement about joining the same label which is home to hip-hop artists like Lil Pump and Mac Miller.

“This is an exciting step for me. I am thrilled to be at a company that is willing to showcase my artistry, while supporting my entrepreneurial spirit. I felt their passion, commitment and enthusiasm from day one. They believed in my vision wholeheartedly, and I am ready to show and prove.” (Billboard)

Earlier this month, the Washington, DC native put out his new Self Promotion EP.
