If everyone with Ambition were as Focused as Wale Folarin… well, it would probably make no difference whatsoever, since the likelihood of success would decrease relative to the higher level of competition. As it is, though, the D.C. representative’s drive and stick-to-it-iveness gives him a formidable edge over his rivals—whether he’s vying to be king of the rap game or, as on the latest leak off his soon-to-be-released sophomore set, of the party. Backed by Kore‘s sizzling synth production, the headliner describes the key ingredients of his ideal night on the town: “I’m just here to have a good time / a little white chick, a little white wine.” Amidst all the money, liquor and women talk, he doesn’t miss the chance to drop a few fresh boasts about his mic skills and business sense’ “I been killin’ you black heads, my rap is Noxzema,” is my favorite. Topped off with a hook by alt-hip-hop mainstay and former rival Kid CuDi, this joint is just the beginning of the dope material in store on Wale’s Maybach Music debut, scheduled to hit store shelves and online retailers November 1.

This song first appeared on the Top Hip Hop / R&B Chart on October 31, 2011

After their "mini beef" I didn't foresee Wale and Cudi ever making music together, so kudos to both artists for putting their minor tiff aside for the sake of collaboration. The end result of this song, however, isn't as memorable as their past issues with one another.

Wale is on fire of late, this album is shaping up to be buying material. Still love 'Lotus Flower Bomb' the most. Killer track.

different sound for Cudi. A lil typical generic on the beat which it seams is Wale's new sound. Cool though

I loved every bit of this track. Cudi and Wale should consider doing a compilation album now that their "beef" is over. Can't wait for Ambition to drop.

Dope track from Cudder and Wale. Wish Cudi dropped a verse on this, he is my favourite artist! I can see this blowing up, good vibes on this one

Not every song must have deep substance. If it hits inside you and gets you hyped, it's a great achievement. Wale has a unique style, love his lyrics and delivery.

Who cares about the beef if they making tracks like this! This is fiya start to finish. Wale blacked out on the verses n Cudi destroyed the hook! Turn this up!

certain artists just flow, these two being a prime example
(i've even confused one for the other before).
