Wale has put out several tracks over the past couple days and “The Meeting” is the newest of the bunch. Here is what Wale’s manager had to say over at Elitaste about it.

So in the spring of 2007, I suggested to Wale that he create an audio manifesto of what he wanted to accomplish as an artist once he signed. DC producer Osinachi, the maestro behind “Nike Boots” who is now part of Rodney Jerkins’ team, blessed Wale with the beat for “The Meeting” and Wale, how do you say, “went in.” This became the first track we played in label meetings and for a time, it was discussed that this would be the intro for Attention Deficit. In retrospect, I think Wale stayed true to the goals set forth in “The Meeting” and you can still hear the hunger in his voice. So 2.5 years later, this track is emancipated. And make sure you cop Attention Deficit if you haven’t done so already.

EDIT: I just listened and realized I have had “The Meeting” for over two years now and I never knew most people didn’t have it. It is one of my favorite Wale tracks ever made.
