In a spectacular takeover of Nashville's iconic Cannery Ballroom, D.C. native Wale delivered a performance that exceeded all expectations. The 1,000-capacity, standing room only venue, sold out days prior to the show, and became the epicenter of a long-awaited musical celebration on Wale's Wow…That’s Crazy tour. Wale brought the heat, and his fans showed up and showed out for the long-awaited night full of both the classics hits and new material.

Beginning his set with an array of his classic hits such as "PYT," Wale showed his ability to culminate timeless tracks, in both his own hits and his features as well. The pulsating beats of "No Hands" brought the crowd back to their pasts, a transportive moment reminiscent of our high school freshman year when the song first graced our iPods.

As the night drew to a close, Wale expressed gratitude to both old and new fans, emphasizing the significance of celebrating one's blackness. I stayed behind for a moment, listening to the crowds talking about just how much of a great time they had. I joined in, too.
