American rapper Wale is eight studio albums deep into his career and gearing up for body of work number nine. Even though he might not have the biggest chart hits to his name, there is one thing he has always managed to do: get the biggest names to collaborate with him. Throughout his career he has worked with Jazmine Sullivan, Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa and Rihanna. While the numbers might not always back it up, his talent certainly does.

On his latest single he reached out to another gifted artist to head into the studio together. None other than neo-soul singer Elmiene delivers his dreamy vocals on ‘Overthink’. The British singer gives the hip-hop track just the right amount of soulful R&B. Together they remind us of the days when rappers and R&B singers regularly joined forces to deliver some of the biggest hits of the 2000s.
