Wale’s upcoming album Folarin 2 has gotten an official drop date.

A few months back, the D.C. rapper shared via Twitter that the album was in the works. He previously tweeted, “#Folarin2 this summer.” Obviously, that release was scrapped as the newest date that we can confirm is October 22, 2021.

On Monday, October 4th, Wale dropped the video for “Poke It Out” with J. Cole.

The song samples Q-Tip’s and J Dilla’s “Vivrant Thing” so it’s not surprising that the video would continue to pay homage. In the video, we see Wale cruising, doing Q-Tip’s famous head bob. There are also plenty of women and, of course, an appearance from track co-star J. Cole.

This year has been an interesting one for the D.C. rapper. He’s been unveiling summer-ready tracks including “Angles” and “Down South” featuring Yella Beezy and Maxo Kream. The Chris Brown-assisted song has an air of summer throughout it. “Down South” is more upbeat and it’s produced by Harry Fraud. Earlier this year he released “Good Vibes (Za)” and that was undeniably a song ideal for throwing on summer playlists.
