I have written about Wale before and will continue to put on blast new artists that are willing to reach outside of their comfort zone. The track is short, but sweet… After picking it up in August, I read that Wale wanted to make something that paid homage to the West African parties he used to go to as a kid. I’m not sure if this is going to find it’s way onto his upcoming album, Attention Deficit, but if it is a sign of his creative direction, the album is definitely going to be worth copping. Apple Juice Kid loops up Bunny Mack’s 1979 calypso single “Let Me Love You”, which was a hit in the UK and in New York’s post-disco scene. I encourage you to check out both Wale as well as Sierra Leone’s own Bunny Mack with the original:
