Grammy-nominated rapper Wale is back, and this time, he’s baring his soul. His new single, “Blanco,” out now via Def Jam Recordings, marks his first release of 2025 and signals a bold, introspective shift in his artistry.
Known for hits like Lotus Flower Bomb, Bad, and My P.Y.T., Wale takes a deeply personal approach on Blanco, blending somber melodies with raw emotion. Singing his own hook, he lays bare the struggles of using alcohol as a coping mechanism—offering fans a rare glimpse into his vulnerabilities.
“Artists spend years hiding behind bravado,” Wale shared. “Blanco strips all that away. It’s the beginning of a more honest conversation I want to have with my audience and how I feel.”
With Blanco, Wale isn’t just dropping new music—he’s setting the stage for a new chapter, one defined by honesty, depth, and self-reflection. If this track is any indication, 2025 might just be his most compelling year yet.
