D.C.-based hip-hop artist Wale (pronounced wah-lay) will perform at Fall Fest tomorrow, Program Board announced Friday.
“Wale will add his high energy performance to the already full fay of amusements and music,” Program Board Chair Tiffany Meehan wrote in a news release.
Wale has recorded four mixtapes since 2005, with his fifth, titled Back to the Feature, set to be released at the end of this month. He has collaborated in the past with such artists as the Roots, Shwayze and Lil Wayne. In 2007, Wale was named by Entertainment Weekly as one of eight people to watch in 2008.
Wale will join rock bands Virginia Coalition and The Canon Logic, both of which were announced last week.
Due to potentially inclement weather resulting from Hurricane Hanna, Fall Fest will be held in the Smith Center tomorrow at 3 p.m.
