The D.C. rapper drops bars over a classic Makaveli beat while preparing his next chapter under Def Jam.
Wale is back in his bag with a new release titled “What’z Ya Phone # Freestyle,” a sharp and nostalgic take that finds him rapping over 2Pac’s iconic track of the same name. The freestyle comes as Wale gears up for the release of his eighth studio album, which will also be his first official project under Def Jam.
Following his departure from Maybach Music Group after 2021’s Folarin II, Wale has been steadily dropping singles and freestyles, showing that he’s still a master of his craft. “What’z Ya Phone # Freestyle” blends smooth delivery with clever punchlines, and his choice to flow over a classic Pac beat is a bold move that reminds fans of his lyrical roots and hip-hop sensibilities.
While the new album title and release date haven’t been revealed yet, Wale’s recent output suggests he’s building toward something big — possibly his most personal and mature project yet.
The “What’z Ya Phone # Freestyle” is available now on SoundCloud and select platforms.
