Singles [edit]
"Chillin" featuring singer Lady Gaga was released as the lead single on April 14, 2009. "World Tour" featuring R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan as the second single on September 8, 2009. "Pretty Girls" featuring rapper Gucci Mane and Weensey of Backyard Band, a legendary go-go band from the Washington, D.C. area was released as the third single on October 6, 2009.
Background [edit]
Production is set to come from Mark Ronson, Cool & Dre, The Neptunes, David Sitek, The Sleepwalkers, and Sean C & LV of The Hitmen among others, with collaborators including Bun B, Chrisette Michelle, K'naan, and J.Cole.[4][5] Wale used his Twitter page to announce that there will be 14 tracks on his album, later after this his album was leaked on the internet. For a time, he considered using his 2007 track, "The Meeting" as the intro track, but decided against it.[6] Speaking in August 2009 to noted UK urban writer Pete Lewis – Deputy Editor of the award-winning Blues & Soul – Wale explained his reasons behind the album's title: "I decided to title the album 'Attention Deficit' because I just think people are generally stingy in what they pay attention to over a long time-period. And, with my album running into a lot of emotions, lyrically it's all over the place. It's happy, sad, mad, glad, insecure, indecisive... You know, emotionally it's not censored, it's not hidden... So, when you put it all together, it's not a smooth ride. And, because in that way it's kinda everywhere, it reminds me of attention deficit disorder!"[7]
