Washington, D.C. – March 2025 – Grammy-nominated rapper Wale has officially kicked off his 2025 music run with “Blanco”, his first release of the year under Def Jam Recordings. Accompanied by a moody visual, the single marks a striking shift in tone for the D.C. native, known for his poetic lyricism and hits like “Lotus Flower Bomb” and “Bad.”
Unlike his usual swagger-filled anthems, “Blanco” dives deep into introspection, blending bluesy instrumentation with raw, emotional bars. Wale bares his soul, addressing personal struggles, including his relationship with alcohol as a coping mechanism.
“Artists spend years hiding behind bravado… ‘Blanco’ strips all that away,” Wale shared. “It’s the beginning of a more honest conversation I want to have with my audience. I want to give people an opportunity to connect with a more vulnerable side of my artistry.”
With Blanco, Wale enters what promises to be one of the most personal and revealing chapters of his career, setting the stage for a transformative new era.
