While this track won’t see a release on Attention: Deficit, I think it’s notable for a lot of different reasons. For one, John and Wale are two of the dopest cats doing it right now. As far as this music thing goes, they’re the kind of artists who just understand it; quality music that uplifts and entertains. Wale shines here, delving about as deep as we’ve heard him get yet, with an open letter to two of the most influential figures of our era: Barack and Pac. Call me crazy, but out of the GQ group, I think Wale might just be the biggest threat. Not to sell Drizzy or the Moon Man short though. It’s pretty much neck and neck. Attention: Deficit drops November 10th.

This song is absolutely beautiful…Glad to see DC on the map…its hard to grab an audience with intellect but this song does it well. Thanks for this =-]
Glad you enjoyed. Couldn’t agree more though; I’m always impressed by artists who can make thought provoking music, and still appeal to people’s short attention spans. I think a lot of the dopest and most impactful artists(Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Bob Marley, 2Pac, Sly Stone) are the ones who know how to accomplish that…
