The album, which follows 2019’s Wow… That’s Crazy, has already spawned the Diddy-sampled single “Angles” with Chris Brown, for which he also released a summer-ready video.

Wale’s mixtape Folarin dropped on Dec. 24, 2012 and featured the 3x platinum hit “Bad” with Tiara Thomas, plus appearances from Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Nipsey Hussle, French Montana, and Jhené Aiko.
