Wale's fifth album Shine was slated for May 5th.
We could be getting it as soon as tonight.
During an listening party last night, Wale appeared to change the date of the project on the fly.

As for the album, it's going to include another reference to alt-right Barbie Tomi Lahren. This time he gets her name right.
"Tomi I Lahren, I aint ready for you/All the Beckys want an Uncle Tom Sawyer/Race draft first pick/John Lennon for Don Lemon," he raps on 'Shine Season'.
