Wale has been steadily teasing new music for a
minute now, and while some have wondered
whether the lyricist was in the midst of a pot-
committed bluff, it would appear he’s officially
ready to move his chips onto the table.
Enter his brand new single “Flawed,” an emotionally
captivating break-up ballad that finds him uniting
with the ever-feature-ready Gunna for the first time.
As one might have expected, there’s a low-key feel
to the instrumental, which blends elements of bass
guitar and pitched-up vocals in one lush package.
Thematically, Wale seems to be channeling some
vintage LL Cool J, aiming to reposition himself as
a viable Mr. Right despite a few hiccups in the
early stages.
Gunna tags in to plead his own case, his cadence
the perfect complement to the warm production
from Mike Hector. And while Wale attempted to
speak to the heart, Gunna shifts his focus to the
libido, doing his best to spark nostalgia for those
intimate nights in.
Though it’s likely this track won’t be appreciated
by all demographics, it’s still an interesting look
for Wale and Gunna, two of the most melodically-
savvy rappers in the game.
