Wale is featured in Nike’s DMV Cherry Blossom Foamposite One campaign, which teases a new song titled “Ghetto Speak.” “From a land that far too well comprehends universal madness,” Wale raps on the track. “Not too far from the symbolic architecture that masks it/ But all is fair, I guess/ ‘Cause broken glass, cherry blossoms, them bullet fragments don’t look as fantastic on the pamphlet.”
