Wale / The Mixtape About Nothing

En ce moment, dans les quelques noms qui tournent dans la galaxie hip-hop aux Etats-Unis, un semble faire l’unanimité: Wale. Prononcez Wa-ley, Messieurs-Dames, le tout jeune MC de 24 ans, originaire de Washington DC, avait déjà fait les titres de la <> de The Source en 2005. Voilà l’homme en pleine ascension sur cette Mixtape About Nothing, abondante, sortie ce 30 mai, et pour vos oreilles cette semaine. S’éloignant du go-go crunky des débuts, Wale tire partout, samples jazz, beats étouffés, south-music et soul enérvée, le tout majoritairement produit par Best Kept Secret et mixé par Nick Catchdubs. Une bonne Tape rutilante.
