W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

included in last month's alter electro mix was a track from a rapper named "webbafied". he took the justice track "let there be light" and turned it into a hip-hop masterpiece simply by spitting over the top of the already perfect beat.


well washington hip hop/fusion artist wale (wah-lay) has just equalled that outstanding track with the exact same concept. W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. is basically the original justice track "D.A.N.C.E." (MSTRKRFT remix below) with some lyrical genius superimposed. wale has been slowly building up his rep since conquering DC in 2006 with a slew of radio hits. 2007 seen him touring europe with mark ronson. still to properly break out of DC, wale is pushing hard in '08 to get himself some country wide recognition, the justice collaboration, off of his new mixtape, being at the forefront of that campaign.
