In addition to this, Wale will take part in BET's highly coveted hip-hop cypher as part of the BET Hip Hop Awards which airs October 11th. The single has proven to be a tour-de-force on radio, being the No 1 most added record at Urban Mainstream and climbing up the Top 15.
Wale recently caused an internet frenzy when he released his mixtape "The Eleven One Eleven Theory" which saw over 100k downloads within hours of its release, disrupting service for download portals Hulkshare and Sendspace. CEO Ted Brinkofski commented, "This is actually the first time it's due to an existing file. It's certainly an exciting milestone, if not a pleasurable one." The mixtape is still available on Jay-Z's LifeandTimes.com: https://lifeandtimes.com/wale-the-eleven-one-eleven-theory.
