Wale has been set to explode for nearly two years, but it seems like this year might finally bring him his commercial breakthrough. Given the fact that this new track, "Chillin" has a guest spot from pop songstress of the moment Lady Gaga, Wale's label is betting that he's about to break huge. The song features some synthy Cool & Dre production, and samples "Hey Hey Hey...Goodbye." Wale spends a bit too much time saying his own name (please, oh please, don't turn into Mike Jones), but his bars are a good counterpoint to the sub-Santigold intonations of Gaga.
Wale's debut album, Attention Deficit , is due out this year. [NahRight]

Haha, "sub-Santigold." That's pretty accurate.
