The discography of Wale consists of one studio album, four singles, and six mixtapes. Wale started his musical career in 2005 by releasing mixtapes in the Washington, D.C. area. The first mixtape, Paint a Picture, had a hometown hit, "Dig Dug" (Shake It). Following that, Wale released his second mixtape in 2006, Hate is the New Love. In the same year, Wale signed with a local record label Studio 43.[1] In 2007 Wale was discovered by Mark Ronson and signed by Allido Records,[1] which released his third mixtape, 100 Miles & Running, featuring artist Daniel Merriweather.

The next year, 2008, Wale was signed by Interscope Records,[1] which released his fourth mixtape, The Mixtape About Nothing, which is Seinfeld-themed.[2] In 2009, Wale also released his debut album, Attention Deficit, which produced three singles: "Chillin" (featuring Lady Gaga), "Pretty Girls" (featuring Gucci Mane and Weensey), and "World Tour" (featuring Jazmine Sullivan). After going on tour with Jay-Z in 2009, Wale became a managed artist of Jay-Z's recording label, Roc Nation, to help with all management duties.[3] In that same year, he released his fifth mixtape, Back to the Feature. In 2010, he released his sixth (and second Seinfeld-themed[4]) mixtape, More About Nothing. In 2011, Wale signed to Maybach Music Group.[3]
