Watch Wale – Staying Power (Music Video)

Wale drops the music video for his latest song Staying Power. Wale released his latest project, It’s Complicated days ago. On the project’s opening song, Wale details all the reasons why getting into a relationship can be difficult for him. “When I start throwing them curves that’s when they caught feelings/I got famous at a young age I’m spoiled/I get paid, don’t go out so the club scene I’m bored of/I don’t believe in unicorns nor pure love, but more so the latter, seen Porzingis from courtside,” he raps.

On “Effortless,” the DMV lyricist interpolates the Mary Jane Girls’ “All Night Long” as he spits about starting to fall for a girl. “I know I’m petty and immature and I know/I’ve been hurt before shouldn’t be the source of my cold heart/Maybe shawty could be the first/To show me how to love on a level where effort isn’t work,” Wale raps.

The rapper’s latest video takes his back to his stomping grounds of Washington, D.C. The video was directed by Chris Hernandez who hones into Wale’s roots while bringing his latest single to life. It’s an excellent visual from Wale and we’re excited to see what he has in store for 2018.
