Wale

Anyone who can get Wale (pronounced Wah-lay) from Olubowale Victor Akintimehin is clearly pretty f-ing awesome. The DC native has been around for years and finally has an album coming out (in October). The first single, Chillin, is an excellent tune, but after you listen to this remix a few times, the original will sound almost painfully slow. This song also demonstrates Lady Gaga's uncanny ability to sounds exactly like M.I.A.
