Song Breakdown #20: "Golden Salvation" by Wale

In today's episode, Desmond delivers a passionate breakdown of DMV artist Wale's "Golden Salvation" off his album The Gifted. Dez details the layers behind Wale's concept of rappers placing value on the wrong things (i.e. A Jesus piece chain as opposed to the peace of Jesus) and highlights how Wale essentially calls out the rap industry while representing Hip-Hop the way it's supposed to be represented. And by the end of the episode, listeners are challenged to evaluate their own values much like the rappers Wale is referring to. 

Enjoy and share your thoughts! Thank you for all the support! - Dez
