Wale's third studio album, and his second for Atlantic/Maybach Music Group, The Gifted, was originally released in 2013, digitally and on CD. The album was not released on vinyl until now. Following up on the success of Ambition, Wale enlisted a new team of producers and fellow MMG artists Rick Ross and Meek Mill, with additional features by rappers Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj, Yo Gotti, Juicy J, and 2 Chainz alongside R&B contemporaries Lyfe Jennings, Ne-Yo, and Sam Dew, with a special appearance by Jerry Seinfeld. Wale first dropped the single "Bad" featuring Tiara Thomas, followed by two more singles, "LoveHate Thing" featuring Sam Dew, and a remix of "Bad" featuring Rihanna. After three successful singles, the album was released on June 25, 2013, and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 —Wale's first #1 —and would eventually be certified Gold. Get On Down is proud to present on vinyl for the first time, The Gifted.
