Wale called into the Big Tigger Morning Show with Free today to speak on his new album Ambition, which is in stores now.

The DC native talked about how excited he is for his sophomore release and what it was like making the album. “This is the one thing I’ve been sure about. I was sure when I made this album. I was in my state; I was in my zone. You couldn’t take me out of it.”
