Already building off of the buzz from the release of his major-label debut “Attention Deficit” and its hit singles, as well as a surprise guest appearance at The Roots concert at the 9:30 Club recently, D.C.-native Wale thrilled the New Year’s Day sold-out crowd. Just like he did when he hosted the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Wale had the terrific UCB (Uncalled 4 Band), one of Washington's leading go-go troupes, backing him up with a mix of heavy percussion and funky grooves that kept the party going until the wee hours of the night. The D.C. go-go inspired themes ruled as the biggest reaction of the night came when Wale did a stirring rendition of his hit “Pretty Girls,” which samples go-go legends Back Yard Band. Wale also gave shout outs to his hometown and Prince George’s County in “Chillin.” Opening for Wale were D.C. hip hoppers Fly Gypsy, a comedic performance by Remy (he of "Arlington: The Rap" YouTube fame), and a stand out performance from Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa who performed with tremendous energy and swagger. He ignited the crowd with his catchy tracks “Pittsburgh Sound” and “Say Yeah.”
