The Gifted by Wale
Release Date: June 25,2013
Grade: A

The Gifted is Wale’s third long-player album. The songs show a more melow part of the rapper. Each song explores his feelings on relationships and growing fame. Bad, featuring Tierra Thomas, suggest that love is sought after in the wrong way. While Vanity plays on the materialized culture of the rap business. With the exception of Clappers and Rotation, the album has a cool vibe to it. It’s an album that can be played in the car or at the club. His content and lyric delivery are great and I give it an A.

Best Track(s): Bricks(feat. Yo Gotti and Lyfe Jennings) LoveHate Thing(feat. Sam Drew).
