Olubowale Victor Akintimehin Folarin (born September 21, 1984 in Washington… Read Full Bio ↴Olubowale Victor Akintimehin Folarin (born September 21, 1984 in Washington, D.C.), better known by his stage name Wale, is an American rapper and producer. Fusing DC's homegrown go-go genre with a streetwise Northern hip-hop sensibility, he takes samples from all genres and blends them together with lyrical dexterity. In 2005 he released his debut mixtape, Paint a Picture, and has since released four more. His debut album, released by Interscope, Attention Deficit, was released November 10, 2009. He has since then released three more albums, with Rick Ross's MMG label, Ambition (2011), The Gifted (2013), and The Album About Nothing (2015), based on his 2008 mixtape, The Mixtape About Nothing.
Wale was born to Nigerian immigrant parents in Washington, DC. He grew up on Peabody Street in Northwest DC and moved to Largo, Maryland as a teenager. He attended seven different high schools in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, finally graduating from Quince Orchard High School in 2001. He went to Robert Morris College and Virginia State University on football scholarships, and then Bowie State University but dropped out in 2004 to pursue music full-time. Before music started paying the bills, Wale worked day jobs at Sprint, Up Against The Wall and Downtown Locker Room.
Wale emerged onto the local DC hip hop scene with the help of WKYS-FM's DJ Alizay. Wale began getting radio play in 2004 with a single called "Rhyme of the Century" which got Wale in the June 2005 "Unsigned Hype" section of Source magazine and his buzz started growing.
In November 2006, a feature ran on AllHipHop.com's Breeding Ground about Wale. The day before Thanksgiving, Wale took the stage between Lil Wayne and T.I. during the Southern Invasion tour at the Verizon Center.
In early December 2006, Wale won the award for "D.C. Metro Breakthrough Artist of the Year" at WKYS' Go-Go Awards. On December 15, The Fader magazine associate editor Nick "Catchdubs" Barat visited Wale for an interview and photo shoot which appeared in the March 2007 issue of The Fader.
Wale has an upcoming promotional campaign with Remy Martin and XXL Magazine. He has also been linked to boutique streetwear brands The Hundreds, 10 Deep and Good Bully, as well as lifestyle brands Stussy and LRG.
In January 2007, Wale released a new single to radio called "Good Girls." Daniel Weisman gave the song to Mark Ronson and on February 23, 2007, Ronson began playing the song on his East Village Radio show. A week later, at Ronson's studio, Wale recorded a freestyle for Ronson and in exchange, Ronson put Wale on an unreleased remix of Lily Allen's "Smile" which appeared on a number of music blogs around the world on March 13th, 2007. In April of 2007, Ronson asked Wale to join him on a UK tour to promote the release of his newest album. In June of 2007, Wale signed to a production deal with Ronson's Allido Records.
On June 24, 2007, Wale's "Ice Cream Girl" with TCB, was featured on the show Entourage, on HBO.
Wale performed "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.", from his 100 Miles mixtape, at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, NV.
Wale was also featured in the October 2007 issues of XXL and Rolling Stone. The Washington Post profiled Wale on the front page of the Sunday Style section in the October 21st, 2007 edition. Wale is featured on the cover of URB Magazine's 150th issue along with French electro group, Justice.
iTunes released "Nike Boots" as a free download on November 13th, 2007 as its "Single of the Week." On Christmas Day 2007, Wale debuted the "Nike Boots Remix" featuring Lil Wayne and Green Lantern on his myspace page. Wale and Lil Wayne played a Nike Boots event called DC Stand Up at Ibiza Nightclub in DC on January 15, 2008 which was sponsored by Nike and Footaction.
In the November 30th, 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Wale is featured as one of 8 people to watch in 2008 along with actors Simon Pegg and Rachel McAdams.
On March 12, 2008, Wale announced on 93.9 WKYS that he had signed with Interscope.
On April 29, 2008, the new Roots album entitled Rising Down was released, featuring Wale on the final track. Wale's relationship with the Roots began when Black Thought heard a song recorded as a tribute to himself on Wale's 2007 mixtape 100 Miles & Running and contacted Wale.
In the June issue of the German Hip-Hop magazine JUICE Wale announced that his upcoming debut-album will feature production credits from Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder and the French electronic music duo Justice.

No Hands
Wale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Girl the way you're movin', got me in a trance
DJ turn me up, ladies, this yo' jam (come on)
I'ma sip Moscato and you 'gon lose them pants
Then I'ma throw this money while you do it with no hands (leggo)
Girl, drop it to the floor
I love the way yo' booty go
All I wanna do is sit back and watch you move
And I'll proceed to throw this cash (Flocka, Waka Flocka, Waka Flocka)
All that ass in yo' jeans
Can Wale beat? Can Roscoe skeet?
Long hair, she don't care
When she walk she get stares
Brown skin or a yellow-bone
DJ, this my favorite song
So I'ma make it thunderstorm
Bud, want it Flocka, yeah
Blow it, fuck it, I don't care
Chests' flyin' everywhere
Tap my partner Roscoe, like
"Bruh, I'm drunk as hell, can't you tell?"
Threw seventy bands, bet fifty stacks, oh fuckin' well
I'm tryna hit the hotel with two girls that swallow me
Take this dick, wanna swallow, Pink Moscato got her freaky
Ayy, you got me in a trance, please take off yo' pants
Pussy pop on a handstand, you got me sweatin'
Please pass me a fan, damn (Flocka, Waka Flocka, Waka Flocka)
Girl the way you're movin', got me in a trance
DJ turn me up, ladies, this yo' jam (come on)
I'ma sip Moscato and you 'gon lose them pants
Then I'ma throw this money while you do it with no hands (leggo)
Girl, drop it to the floor
I love the way yo' booty go
All I wanna do is sit back and watch you move (ayy, ayy)
And I'll proceed to throw this cash (Wale, uh)
She said, "Look ma, no hands"
She said, "Look ma, no hands"
And, no darling, I don't dance
And I'm with Roscoe, I'm with Waka
I think I deserve a chance
I'm a bad mothafucka, go n' ask them mothafuckas
A young handsome mothafucka
I sling that wood, I just nunchuck 'em
And who you wit'? And what's yo' name?
And you not hip? Boo, I'm Wale
And that D.C. shit, I rep all day
And my eyes red 'cause of all that haze
Don't blow my high, let me shine
Drumma on the beat, let me take my time
Nigga want beef? We can take it outside
Fight for what broad? These hoes ain't mine
Is you out yo' mind? You out yo' league
I sweat no bitches, just sweat out weaves
Wear out tracks, let me do my thing
I got sixteen for this Roscoe thing
But I'm almost done, let me get back to it
Whole lotta loud in a lil' Backwood
Whole lotta money, big tip, I would
I put her on the train, little engine could, bitch
Girl the way you're movin', got me in a trance
DJ turn me up, ladies, this yo' jam (come on)
I'ma sip Moscato and you 'gon lose them pants
Then I'ma throw this money while you do it with no hands (leggo)
Girl, drop it to the floor
I love the way yo' booty go
All I wanna do is sit back and watch you move
And I'll proceed to throw this cash
Roscoe Dash, okay (leggo)
R-O-S-C-O-E (O-E)
Mr. Shawty Put It On Me (please)
I be goin' ham (ham)
Shorty upgrade from bologna (please)
Them niggas tippin' good, girl, but I can make it flood (I can)
'Cause I walk around with pockets bigger that are than my bus (whoa)
"Rain, rain go away" that's what all my haters say
My pockets stuck on overload, my rain never evaporates (never)
No need to elaborate (never), most of these ducks exaggerate (they do)
But I'ma get money, nigga, every day stuntin', nigga
Ducks might get a chance after me (go)
Bitch, I'm ballin' like I'm comin' off of free throws
Just ahead of the game, no cheat codes
Lambo' Roscoe, no street code (skrrt)
And your booty got me lost like Nemo
Go, go, go, go-gon' and do yo' dance (right now)
And, I'ma throw this money
While you do it wit' no hands (I'm gon')
Girl the way you're movin', got me in a trance
DJ turn me up, ladies, this yo' jam (come on)
I'ma sip Moscato and you 'gon lose them pants
Then I'ma throw this money while you do it with no hands
Girl, drop it to the floor
I love the way yo' booty go
All I wanna do is sit back and watch you move
And I'll proceed to throw this cash
DJ turn me up, ladies, this yo' jam (come on)

All I wanna do is sit back and watch you move
And I'll proceed to throw this cash (Flocka, Waka Flocka, Waka Flocka)
All that ass in yo' jeans

The lyrics to Wale's song "No Hands" depict a party scene where the singer is captivated by a girl's movements on the dance floor. The DJ's music and the girl's seductive dancing put the singer in a trance-like state. He plans to sip wine (Moscato) while the girl removes her pants, and as she dances, he throws money in appreciation. The lyrics also mention various physical attributes of the girl, like her long hair and attractive figure, which draw attention from those around her. The singer is joined by Roscoe and Waka Flocka Flame, who add their own verses to the song.
The song is a celebration of party culture and the excitement of being in the club. It embraces a carefree and hedonistic attitude, focusing on the pleasure of watching attractive women dance and enjoying the atmosphere created by the DJ. The repetition of the phrase "no hands" emphasizes the girl's ability to move and dance without inhibition.
