Wale goes R&B on "Ambition" album
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Following his short time at Interscope Records, Wale decided to leave the label. Rick Ross said he was considering signing Wale to his own Maybach Music label. Not many people took Rick Ross' comments seriously. But, in only a matter of months, Wale became the latest addition to Maybach Music.
Maybach Music, itself, was angling to be signed. After adding a large number of artists to the label, a bidding war took place. Several labels lined up to add Maybach Music to their roster. Birdman made the premature announcement of adding Maybach Music to his already-large, Cash Money Records.
In the end, Rick Ross decided to do business with Warner Bros. and released the label's first album in May. Now, Wale is preparing his second album, Ambition. Coming in less than a month, Wale is working with a number of artists on his new album. Most of these artists are R&B artists, as Wale wants more soul on his new album.
While the "Ambition" track features his Maybach Music label-mates, Rick Ross and Meek Mill, the album features appearances from Ne-Yo, Lloyd, and Miguel. Former rival, Kid Cudi will also be featured on the new album. Read more...

Wale speaks on "Ambition" and Mark Ronson
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Following a short stint with Interscope Records, Wale ended up signing with Rick Ross' Maybach Music. Out of nowhere, Ross has taken over the rap game. Known for boasting, many did not believe Rick Ross when he said he may sign Wale. A few months later, Maybach Music is among the biggest movements.
Currently, Wale is putting the finishing touches on Ambition, his debut under Maybach Music. On his new album, Wale has production from DJ Toomp, Tone P, Tha Bizness, among other producers. Wale said this new project is one of those overall solid releases.
Wale says he has a number of songs he wants his fans to hear and he also discussed his future. While Mark Ronson worked with Wale on his Attention Deficit debut, he is absent on his latest album. Wale promised fans he would reunite with Mark Ronson in the future. Read more...

Wale and Kid Cudi team up for "Focused"
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
When they were both establishing themselves in the game, Wale and Kid Cudi relied on each other. Early in their respective careers, the two rappers were close. However, following the release of their respective 2009 debut albums, a feud began between the two rappers.
During an interview, Kid Cudi made a negative statement towards his former friend. From there, Wale called Kid Cudi out and the feud began. Having exchanged disses for nearly a year, the two decided to patch things up. Wale and Kid Cudi had a Twitter exchange, which led to a phone call.
Following the phone call, the two rappers became friends again and are working together again. Wale recruited Kid Cudi for a track on his Ambition album. The new song is called "Focused" and it will be the first collaboration (of many) since Wale and Kid Cudi decided to end their nearly year-long beef. Read more...
