Wale is Dropping New Music This Week

This is not a test.

It’s been a while since Wale dropped new music, but that hiatus is now apparently over.

According to a social media post made Tuesday (October 17), the D.C. rapper surprised fans by announcing he’ll be dropping new music this week and breaking his “silence.”

“My silence has been golden… see you on Friday. Folarin back,” he captioned a post on Instagram, which featured a picture of himself, the message, “There’s no potential in a friendship / that comes with intentions, and a video flickering the words olubo [wale] folarin.

Additionally, Wale cleared his entire IG feed, perhaps signaling it’s a new era in his musical career.

Outside of lending his voice to features here and there, Wale hasn’t dropped much in the way of music over the past two years. His last full-length LP was 2021’s Folarin II, which boasted the singles “Angles” (with Chris Brown) and “Poke It Out” (with J. Cole).
