The "Purple Swag" phenomenon may have been long and forgotten but Wale going in over A$AP Rocky's trademark single is a much appreciated reminder. Not to mention his bars were pretty heavy. Bonus: Check out Meek Mill and Wale's remix of Drake's "The Motto" below.

Wale 's official studio output may tend to be a bit hit or miss, but plant the MMG soldier behind a mic in freestyle beast mode and what results is almost always guaranteed to be the hip hop highlight for the day. For his latest beat-jack, the recent R&B/ Hip Hop chart-owning "Lotus Flower Bomb" rapper hops on the instrumental track behind A$AP Rocky's "Purple Swag" , its woozy, blunt-hazed swirl of a beat inspiring him to drop energetic, wit-spiked braggadocio lyrical winners such as "Probably sick of n*gga livin' how a n*gga livin'/ Even better, come [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-08T03:39:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044635/listen-to-wale-freestyle-over-aap-rockys-purple-swag/
Seems like Wale & Meek are rapping circles around a lot of people lately. Ralph spits like he's on an incline treadmill. Sometimes it's boring, but there's no denying his bars. What do you think of this freestyle over ASAP's 'Purple Swag' ??]]> text/html 2012-02-08T02:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044570/wale-purple-swag-freestyle/
Wale gets a hold of the instrumental that put Rocky on the map, and straight spazes on it. I've been needing some good Wale recklessness back in my rotation. Download: Wale - Purple Swag Freestyle -daNk]]> text/html 2012-02-07T22:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044335/wale-purple-swag-freestyle/
Wale doing his freestyle thing over ASAP's beat. If I've said it once then you've heard it already, Wale freestyles are beyond your favorite rappers freestyles. Rocky would be proud, or so I think. Too much homework tonight, but this will be playing... @SeanCornholio]]> text/html 2012-02-07T22:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044310/wale-purple-swag-freestyle/
Maybach Music's Wale just dropped a bit a fire in his freestyle over ASAP Rocky's "Purple Swag". Wale Folarin is one of the best artists out there who can rap straight off the dome, and he kills this trill beat. Ralph Folarin is a true wordsmith with quirky punchlines and keeps his steady flow on blast through the entire track, so check out Wale's "Purple Swag" freestyle and enjoy.

Wale drops a new freestyle over the A$AP Rocky beat for "Purple Swag". I definitely like Wale's mixtape shit better than his finished album material. A$AP will be in Philly tomorrow night, probably with his whole A$AP Team. It gonna get real Harlem up in the TLA tomorrow night.

Wale and Meek Mill lay down over The Motto, from Drake and Lil Wayne. Labeled as a freestyle its likely the pair just dropped this song because the beat is hot and who wouldnt want to lay a few bars over it. Get some.]]> text/html 2012-02-06T20:57:56+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4041513/torch-feat-wale-meek-mill-stalley-young-breed-gunplay/

Last night, Wale returned to his second home for a packed show at The Cubby Bear. Joined by L.E.P., Tabi Bonney and Black Cobain, Wale ran through a pretty decent amount of tracks from his catalog including "600 Benz" which he kicked off the show with. Looked like a good time, as Wale never disappoints when he's in the Windy. Check out Wale & Tre running through "Lotus Flower Bomb" below.]]> text/html 2012-02-03T21:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4035743/the-hood-internet-night-chain-wale-vs-kavinsky/

I watched Drive for the second time last night, and there are a handful of things that I still can't get over. The unbelievably graphic elevator scene, the sneaky-great soundtrack, and Ron Perlman's UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE to a baboon.The shit is mindblowing. Anyways, The Hood Internet have decided to mash up one of the tracks from Drive, Kavinsky's "Nightcall" with Wale's "Chain Music". The result is working for me at the moment. Check it out below, and go compare some pictures of baboons to the man above. No disrespect Mr. Perlman, you were a boss in that film.

The blending of genres is risky, but The Hood Internet steps it up and melds together Wale 's "Chain Music" and Kavinsky 's "Nightcall," no soldering iron required. The result is "Nightchain," and a mental image of a really bad ass Wale driving around L.A. like Ryan Gosling in Drive .

I don't know whether I had heard Avalanche by Folks some time ago, clocked it as a great song, and subsequently completely forgotten about them, or whether the wave of familiarity and quality I was struck with was purely down to the brilliance of the track. I hope it was the latter, but really, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that Folks are yet another fearsomely talented act from Manchester. Yes, the same Manchester that gave us Wu Lyf, Secret Pilot etc etc etc. The one band that may be of note however is Oasis, specifically Noel [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-01T19:28:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4030287/wale-ft-rick-ross-fabolous-alber-pujols-music/
