Despite being signed to the thug-tastic Maybach Music Group,  Wale still respects the ladies. With  “Lacefrontin’”, a cut from his as-yet-detail-less sophomore album, the D.C. rapper lets loose lyrics that crack like a whip (not this kind) against a pounding drum-and-siren-heavy beat. Between all the blasts of percussion and the female voices eerily chanting “what it is,” Wale just wants the females of the world to keep it real.
