Wale

Wale is lending a helping hand to some frustrated students. The rapper donated $5,000 to Louisiana’s Grambling State University after learning the football team refused to practice and forfeited the Jackson State University football game because their athletic gear was inadequate and their head coach, Doug Williams, was fired.

There's no doubt hip-hop's major talents have big money in their wallets, but we don't always get to hear about their big hearts. Often cast in a showy light with the latest jewelry, foreign cars, clothes and eye candy by their side, their good deeds sometimes go unnoticed -- especially when arrests and beef are always grabbing headlines.

Before we saw him bundle onto the stage to perform (or should we say yell while the real artists perform) 'I Wanna Be With You' with Future and Rick Ross during last night's network premiere of the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards, DJ Khaled unleashed two star-studded songs off his upcoming album, 'Suffering From Success.'

It's 5AM in Toronto and what is Wale doing? He's rapping in the streets for his latest video 'Simple Man in Toronto.' The minimalist track appears on the D.C., rhymer's latest album, 'The Gifted.'

Continuing to promote his third studio album, 'The Gifted,' Wale gave fans another taste of his latest project by releasing the visual for 'Golden Salvation.'

Wale's ode to all the ladies with big booties out there, 'Clappers,' finally receives the party-themed video it so deserves.

We're but a few weeks away from the release of Maybach Music Group's latest compilation and today the Rick Ross-led crew reveals the final artwork and track listing.

J. Cole and Wale have announced a joint tour, 'What Dreams May Come,' coming to a city near you this fall. The Roc Nation representatives have teamed up for a 20-plus-date North American trek that kicks off September 10 in Miami, making stops in Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Toronto and Houston before concluding in Seattle on October 30.

Wale and J. Cole's collaborations rarely disappoint. Each enjoying the recent release of new albums -- Folarin with 'The Gifted' and Cole with 'Born Sinner' -- the Roc Nation representatives extend their winning streak with this new joint effort, 'Winter Schemes.'

Wale is back with his third solo album, 'The Gifted’ and usual he's got something to prove. It's not that he can sell records--after going gold with his last release, ‘Ambition,’ the DMV native has left that pressure in the past. ('The Gifted' will debut on the Billboard 200 at No.1 with about 150,000 copies sold). But he still feels that he needs to get his just due in the respect department. Rea
