This past Friday, February 12th, Wale made his way down to Austin, Texas for a show at Republic Live. With opening acts by 3rd ID’s close partner, Problem Child (among others) the show was definitely on point. There was also a meet ‘n greet at Complete Clothing earlier in the day where he signed autographs, took pictures and chatted with fans. Peep some pictures at Complete’s website here. We were lucky enough to toss him some 3rd ID shirts and chopped it up with him for a few minutes.
Performing tracks off his debut “Attention Deficit” album as well as past jams from his older mixtapes, Wale put on a great show and showed Texas what DC hip-hop is all about. He also showed mad love for Texas and UT sports with plenty of player name drops in his lyrics like Colt McCoy and Wale’s own friend, and DC native, Kevin Durant.
To add some fun to the show, Wale was broadcasting the show live via his uStream account for all to see.
We’re looking forward to the next Wale show and maybe he will be back in town for this year’s SXSW festival.
