He lālā koʻikoʻi ʻo Wale o ka hanana rap ma Wakinekona a ʻo kekahi o nā hōʻailona kūleʻa loa o ka inoa ʻo Rick Ross Maybach Music Group. Ua aʻo nā poʻe e pili ana i ke kālena o ka mea mele e mahalo i ka mea hana Mark Ronson.
Ua wehewehe ka mea pena rap i ka pseudonym haku mele ʻaʻole mākou e like me kēlā me kēia kanaka. Ua loaʻa iā ia ka hapa mua o ka kaulana i ka makahiki 2006. ʻO ia i kēia makahiki i hana ʻia ai ka mua o ka hana mele Dig Dug (Shake It).
ʻO ko Wale kamaliʻi a me kona ʻōpiopio
ʻO ka lā hānau o ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo Kepakemapa 21, 1984. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Olubovaley Viktor Akintimekhin (inoa maoli o ka rapper) ma Wakinekona. ʻO kona mau mākua mai ka lāhui Yoruba ma ke komohana hema o Nigeria. I ka piha ʻana o Victor i 10, neʻe ka ʻohana i Montgomery (Maryland).
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia kahi rapper ʻAmelika o Nigerian ua ulu ʻo ia i kahi lewa o ka makaʻu a me ka hoʻomalu. ʻAʻole i nānā ka makuahine i nā keiki. He wahine anu a me ka manao ole.
I kona wā kamaliʻi, makemake ʻo ia i nā hana waho. Ua makemake pū ʻo ia i ka pāʻani pôpeku. Ua aʻo maikaʻi ʻo Victor ma ke kula, no laila ma hope o ka pau ʻana o kāna kula kiʻekiʻe, hele ʻo ia i ke Kulanui o Bowie State. ʻAʻole i loaʻa iā ia kāna kula kiʻekiʻe. Aia nā kumu pilikino no kēia.
Ua hoʻopiha ʻia ʻo ia me "nā mele alanui" a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e haku i nā mele rap. Ua noʻonoʻo ke kanaka ʻōpio i ka ʻoihana o ka mea mele, no laila ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i ke kumu o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. I kēia manawa, hoʻolaʻa ʻo Victor iā ia iho i ke mele.
ʻO ke ala noʻonoʻo o ka mea rap artist ʻo Wale
I ka makahiki 2005, ua hōʻike ʻia ka mea rapper ma The Source i kā lākou Unsigned Hype section. Ma ka ʻatikala, ua ʻōlelo ka mea kākau moʻolelo e pili ana iā Victor ma ke ʻano he rapper ulu.
Hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, hōʻike ʻo Wale i ka hana mele ʻo Dig Dug (Shake It). Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ke kanaka ʻōpio e neʻe i ke ala i koho ʻia. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻohuli ʻo Mark Ronson i ka manaʻo iā ia. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua kau inoa ʻo ia i kahi ʻaelike me Allido Records. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā mele, a ua ʻike pū ʻia i loko o nā media kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, a ma nā uhi o nā nūpepa kūlanakauhale.

Kakau inoa ʻana i kahi ʻaelike me Maybach Music Group
ʻEkolu mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua kau inoa ʻo ia me Maybach Music Group (ka inoa ʻo Rick Ross). Ma hope koke iho o ke kau inoa ʻana i ka ʻaelike, hāʻawi ka mea pena rap i ka album Self Made Vol.1.
I ka lā mua o Nowemapa 2011, ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka rapper me ka lua studio album. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Longplay ʻo Ambition. Hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo ma ka helu ʻelua ma Billboard.200.

I ka pau ʻana o Iune 2013, ua hōʻike ʻo Wale i ke kolu o ka album ma ka lālani. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka hōʻiliʻili The Gifted. No ka hana ʻana i "noise" a puni ka moʻolelo, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka Sight of the Sun (kahi remix o Fun). Ua mahalo ʻia kēia ala e ka poʻe hoʻolohe o ka rapper.

Ua hoʻopaʻa pū ka rapper i kahi mele kumu kumu no kahi hōʻike TV haʻuki kaulana. ʻO ka hōʻike ʻelua hola, e hoʻolele ʻia ʻelua i ka lā ma 10:00 am a me 13:00 pm ma ESPN, e hōʻike ana i ke kumuhana o ka mea pena i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hōʻike.
Ma ka nalu o ka kaulana, hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka album studio ʻelima, i kapa ʻia ʻo Shine. Ma kahi o 30 kope o ka album i kūʻai ʻia i ka pule mua. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka LP e ka poʻe pā o ka mea hīmeni.
Nā kikoʻī o ke ola pilikino o Wale
ʻO Wale kekahi o nā mea pena mele ʻaʻole makemake e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kona ola pilikino. Ua loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau pilina koʻikoʻi i ka wā ma mua.
