Stalley has never been one of the loudest characters in hip-hop, but he’s been noticeably quiet over the last few years, even by his own humble standards. Since the release of his Saving Yusuf mixtape back in January 2016, Stalley has been keeping a low profile while negotiating a new situation outside of Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group.

New Wave is out now on iTunes via Real Talk Entertainment.
