It's hard to imagine that twelve years have passed since the landmark "Mixtape About Nothing," nonetheless the same deftly acrobatic lyricist returns on Folarin II, containing some of Wale's most consistent and balanced work to date. The album spans big boy raps like "Tiffany Nikes" and mature verses found in "More Love," without denying us fun joints like the J. Cole-featuring "Poke It Out." Throughout this eclectic album, the D.C.-based rapper's voice is strong and, as "Light Years" posits, "ready for whatever."
