Wale’s Album Pushed Back Again, Joins Jay-Z On Tour

“Allow me to introduce me, my name’s Wale don’t say Wally…”

These are the words of Allido/Interscope artist, Wale. He’s straight out of the “area” comprised of D.C., Maryland and Virginia and if you’ve been eager to be introduced to the lyrical giant, you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer. Wale’s Attention Deficit album has been pushed back yet again. As previously reported, the album was originally set to hit stores September 22 but was pushed back to October. Now Wale won’t be able to introduce himself to the masses until November 10. His album is being pushed back for good reason however as he gets ready to embark on a national tour.

After being hailed by GQ magazine as “the greatest rapper since Jay-Z”, the Roc Nation managed MC will hit the road with his superior for the “North American College Arena Tour.” The tour offers an insane lineup featuring the DMV representa, Jay-Z, N.E.R.D. and Roc Nation’s newest sensation, J. Cole.

While preparing for the tour he tweeted about his 30 minute slot saying,

“Damn…i just ran through my set for tour…and im sweatin like a mug…this gonna be the best 30mn set yall ever seen.”
