Wale Has ADD

On October 20th, Wale's first major label debut, Attention: Deficit, will finally be released. Backed by four outstanding mixtapes, Wale and the album are seeing their share of hype, especially since the record was originally slated for late September, but was pushed back due to production issues.

The leaks from Attention: Deficit have been steady for awhile now, but most of them have been amateur reworkings of old and unfinished material. That was until not too long ago when Wale self-released the almost finished "My Sweetie." The track is a solid up-tempo offering, but doesn't quite match his best mixtape work. If anything, Wale's verses are great, but the production is weak.

"My Sweetie" is the second official song I've heard off the upcoming LP, the other being the album's first single, "Chillin' (feat. Lady Gaga)" which was sufienct enough until remixers took the track to better places.

There's an excess of expectation behind this record, but the leaks thus far have left me cautiously optimistic. However, if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, its Wale; The D.C. talent has put out nothing but greatness on his mixtapes.
