Olubowale Victor Akintimehin better known by his stage name Wale(pronounced wah-lay) is an American hip hop artist. As of 2009, Wale has released five mixtapes one of which included the banger `"Nike Boots". On June 19, 2009, Wale released his fifth mixtape, Back to the Feature, on which eleven of the tracks were produced by 9th Wonder, with contributions also coming from Mark Ronson and others. The album's title, a play off the name of the movie Back to the Future, referred to the fact that a lengthy list of rappers joined Wale on the songs, including Talib Kweli, Joell Ortiz, Beanie Sigel and Bun B. The mixtape received several positive reviews, although at least one critic commented that it represented neither "a step forward or back [for the artist] so much as shouting-in-place." -The Orginal Invinvators

Other than being a beast on the mic, he also designs clothing and destroys live shows in his free time. One of the best and hes only 2 albums in. -The Orginal Invinvators
