Attention Deficit (Bonus Track Version) – WaleView More By Wale Our ReviewWith his wit and old-school rhyme influences, Wale resembles his contemporaries Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco, both of whom embrace innovation and tradition with equal regard. Still, Attention Deficit is less insular than The Cool or Man On the Moon.
