Talking about his high hopes for his second album, Ambition, in FADER #77, Wale said, "I want to be the dude whose dreads smell like champagne at the end of the night. I don’t want to be the dude in bed with his girl, not wanting to talk to his homies, all he want to do is smoke a blunt and watch SportsCenter." "Chain Music," directed by Rik Cordero, explores that problem, playing out the differing fates of humble and "geechi" dudes in split screen. Wale plays both parts with good humor and decent acting chops. Ambition is in stores now.
