Wale Sends 2018 Off With New Songs “Winter Wars” and “Poledancer”

Wale fans have something new—two somethings, in fact—to help guide them through the rest of 2018.

Friday, Wale dropped off the new songs “Winter Wars” and “Poledancer,” the latter of which features Megan Thee Stallion. Wale even hit fans with the official “Poledancer” video directed by LVTRKevin (Yung Lean). Catch that below. Both tracks are also available via your preferred streaming service.

The double dose arrives during a particularly prolific period for Wale, who earlier this year announced a new deal with Warner Bros. Back in September, he recruited J. Cole and Eric Bellinger for the five-track Free Lunch EP. Another EP, Self Promotion, dropped in May. Tracks from Mahalia, Cardi B, and H.E.R. also received Wale remixes.

Following confirmation of his Warner Bros. deal in May, Wale spoke with DJBooth about the fresh joys of the “executive” life. “I had to be NEEDED, not wanted,” he said at the time. “I had to have a partner; no longer could I have a boss . . . I’m finally an executive. A real exec. Watch it all unfold. Once I get myself settled in, I’m changing the industry the way I see fit and working vigorously to create, sign and promote DOPE SHIT.”
