Wale is back with his first release of 2025! The rapper’s brand new single is titled “Blanco”.
UPDATE: The video is out now!
“Blanco” marks Wale’s first release in 2025, building on his legacy as one of rap’s most enduring and versatile artists and adding to a chart-topping catalogue which includes Platinum and Gold records “Bad,” “Lotus Flower Bomb,” “My P.Y.T.” and more. This somber, bluesy record builds on Wale’s long-standing tradition of nuanced storytelling with a newfound vulnerability, as he shares his own heartfelt vocals on the hook. Through “Blanco”, Wale takes an unorthodox approach to his return, divulging with his fans the harsh realities of relying on alcohol to cope with life’s challenges.
Wale shared his intentions behind the record stating, “Artists spend years hiding behind bravado…’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, and I want to give people an opportunity to connect with a more vulnerable side of my artistry.”
