Wale stopped by HOT 97 to talk with Nessa about his new album, Everything’s A Lot. He opens up about the project, and the stories behind key songs—including the Goapele sample on “Watching Us” with Leon Thomas and Mike Hector. He teases the hardest track to finish, how grief and real life shaped the writing, and what “success” means to him right now.
They also get into feeling overlooked vs. appreciated, how algorithms changed the game, and what he learned from Attention Deficit, Ambition, and The Album About Nothing. Wale talks favorite collaborators, a DC crime series he’s producing, the Go-Go story he wants to tell, fatherhood, and the legacy he’s building. He even shares thoughts on football camps in DC—and whether he’d hit the field again with Colin. Listen to his album Everything’s a Lot out November 14!
