GQ on Wale: Best new rapper since Jay

The official magazine for yuppies and hipsters alike gets all hyperbolic over Nigerian DC-native and breakout rap rookie, Wale, calling him "The greatest new rapper since Jay-Z" on the cover of their June issue. Here is an excerpt from the two-page spread:

"Now, finally, his first official album is finished - and Attention Deficit might be the most sonically adventurous major-label hip-hop debut ever. With production from Ronson, Cool & Dre, and even Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio, the upbeat album has tribal go-go drums, throwback horns, walls of sound from Sitek, and a live-band feel developed over countless club dates. And like a young Jay-Z or Kanye, Wale has a crystal-clear jocular flow... that puts him leaps ahead of his freshman competitors."

We're reserving judgment until Attention: Deficit drops later this year. Be sure and hit the jump for full scanz of the article.
