I Pledge Allegiance to Flag, of the United States of Wale.
Somewhere in the beginning, a
Virginia native, Aaron Turner felt something in the music that just might have
been more powerful than what any of us felt at that point. Somewhere between
the honesty, the realness, and the sneaker addict prose Aaron pledged allegiance.
In 2010 Aaron, better known as @Uptownroamer stared the fan page @WaleNation paired
with the Blog About Nothin to support his favorite rapper who he
felt wasn’t getting his proper shine. Like all good things WaleNation started
out small, but now boasts over 2,700 twitter followers. Which include none
other than Wale himself, Rick Ross, The Board of Administration and Maybach
Music Group. It is undeniable that the #WaleWednesday founder is on the path to
success. His proudest moment thus far was a shout out from Wale at a concert at
his college last year and a personal compliment from him on twitter about The
Blog About Nothin.
Today Aaron runs Black Cobain’s
YouTube page, is a BOA intern and social media coordinator. As for the future
he aspires to have a career in A&R and in his words “find really dope
artists that want to make really dope music. Like Andre from Brown Sugar,
that’s my movie. That’s what inspired me to want to be an A&R”. Aaron is also currently working on a company
of his own, which by the sound of it you all should be on the look out for.
Don’t worry though; I am covering the debut here. Lastly, I asked Aaron to
assemble his dream concert lineup, in which the artists could be living or dead
and he answered: “Biggie, Big L, J Dilla on the turntables, making beats or
something maybe get a cypher in that joint, Nas, Wale of course, Common, Black
Star and the Roots as the house band”. Now I can’t speak everyone, but I
definitely would buy tickets. All in all I think it’s safe to say that @Uptownroamer
is the chief ambassador of all things Wale. Making the DMV proud.

Welcome
Music has always been my absolute
most favorite thing in the entire world. Every since I can remember all I
wanted to do, along with anything else, was hear music. I would sit in my room
for hours and listen. The words and the stories were always so beautiful and
different. It seemed like music feed my urge to discover and learn. Like music
and I grew up together. My first love. My first best friend. No matter the mood
or the issue or the point in my life there has always been a song to comfort
me, be on my side and agree with all of those feelings I had that I couldn’t
explain. Through this blog I will share all of the stories, good, bad, and
ugly. The emotion, the talent it takes. My whole life narrated through all of
our favorite artists. Shout out to you
for reading.
-----The Cool.
