New Track from Wale
Wale, D.C.'s premier hip-hop wonder, leaked "Nightlife" today on his blog. The song is off his upcoming mixtape, Back to the Future, a collaboration with local rapper/producer 9th Wonder. It's slated to drop spring 2009. "Nightlife" features Philly's Young Chris of Young Gunz and gives a shout out to the 44th President.

9th Wonder -- whose name is like synonymous with Raleigh/Durham heroes Little Brother and Justus League -- is a DC local? That's news to me!I didn't know he rapped either. Is the only difference between Black Plastic Blag and Forkcast/Stereogum/Fader the fact that you guys introduce weird errors into otherwise rote news stories, if only to keep things interesting?

Word. Fucked this up. Thanks for the fact-check and vitriol.

I ran into him at a bar in Adams Morgan once. Does that make him a local?

Too polite, Bobby! You're supposed to respond to vitriol with more vitriol. It's what pathetic anono commenters like me THRIVE on.
Anyway. Stone, do you know how the connection between M1 Platoon and 9th Wonder developed? Will that mixtape be worth checking out? Is it ALL 9th Wonder produced or just partly?
