Under normal circumstances, wine and hip hop make for some pretty strange bedfellows, but for the Wale x 10.Deep mixtape release party, the two paired up nicely for a memorable downtown jammy jam.
With DC heavy spitter Wale as guest of honor, the strangest, yet most inviting aspect of the evening was the steady flow of crushed grapes provided by Black Swan Wines. As the night was especially muggy, I opted for the Riesling which, considering the climate, tasted like Gatorade after a marathon. The infamous Nick Catchdubs was on the wheels so the sounds were righteous and by the time Wale showed up to a king’s reception, everyone was good and loose. Rocking through some of his most known unknowns, Wale was backed by UCB, and even joined by Tabi Bonney for a song. As the new tape is unquestionably dope, check out one of our favorite Wale joints from his “Hate Is The New Love” mixtape below, and then listen to/download the entire 10.Deep sponsored “Mixtape About Nothing” here
