Grammy-nominated rapper Wale returns with his new single “Blanco,” out now via Def Jam Recordings. The track marks Wale’s first release of 2025 and signals a bold, introspective shift in his artistry.
Known for his poetic lyricism and chart-topping hits like “Lotus Flower Bomb,” “Bad,” and “My P.Y.T.,” Wale dives deeper on “Blanco,” blending somber melodies with raw emotion. Singing his own hook, he reveals the weight of relying on alcohol to navigate personal struggles—ushering in a more honest and vulnerable chapter in his career.
“Artists spend years hiding behind bravado,” Wale shared. “‘Blanco’ strips all that away. It’s the beginning of a more honest conversation I want to have with my audience and how I feel.”
