Last night, Hot 97 and MySpace brought Wale to the Highline Ballroom in NYC, and the venue was packed to CAPACITY to see Mr. Folarin. Myself and fellow IFWT writer Caasi were in the building to see Flex tear the place down for a full hour on the 1’s and 2’s, while Miss Info held down the crowd on the mic. Of course the DC emcee brought his whole MMG family with him for starters, and he had quite a few surprise guests up his sleeve as well. “Ambition” collaborators Miguel and Ne-Yo graced the stage, as well as New York’s own French Montana to perform his street hit “Choppa, Choppa Down.” While Rozay didn’t actually touch the mic (wouldn’t want him over-exerting himself!), he amped the crowd the entire night with just his presence standing alongside his protege and cheering him on. And Meek Mill? Crowd…went…CRAY. That boy’s a star. Check out a montage of some of the best moments of the night below.
