Self Made I could just hit a beat, but now I’m like ‘Alright, I don’t like the strings. He also explained that he would be taking his time on the album, saying: "It’s not coming as quick as like a lot of other projects. This new project I’m working on is definitely allowing me to do that."
I haven’t had an opportunity to stand on my own sonically as an artist as much as I would like. Kinda like when I was in my best pocket…Just for being swarmed in my own stuff and doing Self Made and all those things. I proved a lot to my peers and to myself and to my fans so I just wanna take it back to something a little more exciting. In November 2012, during an interview with MTV, Wale explained he would be taking a new approach with his third studio album, saying: On November 25, 2011, shortly after the release of Ambition, Wale announced on Twitter that he had already begun working on his third album. In June 2016, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 158,000 copies in its first week. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success. The Gifted was supported by four official singles- " Bad", " LoveHate Thing", " Bad (Remix)" and " Clappers". The album also features guest appearances from Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz among others. The production on the album was handled by multiple producers including Just Blaze, Jake One, Kane Beatz, Cardiak, The Runners and Lee Major among others.

Eddie, Assistant Librarian Archives & Manuscripts The images shown here are also from the Salvesen Archive and show the Company vessels ‘Coronda’ and ‘New Sevilla’ at Leith Harbour in South Georgia, and crew on board a prospecting cruise to South Georgia and Antarctica in 1913-1914. Then, in October 2007, the French based transport and logistics provider Norbert Dentressangle announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire Christian Salvesen.
In later years – the 1960s and 1970s – the firm had diversified into the tanker fleet business, shipping steel and coke to Norway for the Norwegian shipbuilding and steel industries, factory fishing trawlers, and then to shore-based cold storage, canning, property development and also to house-building. Indeed, whaling dominated the Salvesen business. In the early decades of the 20 th century, the shipping firm Salvesen of Leith, Scotland, led the whaling industry at a time when food oils and other products from the Antarctic were considered an endless resource. The Salvesen story itself had been an interesting one. In addition to the broadcast in June, the documentary entitled ‘Britain’s Whale hunters: The Untold Story’ will again be transmitted on BBC Two, in Scotland only, later in the year, no date confirmed. Recently a ‘Keo films’ researcher spent some days looking at material from the Salvesen archive before travelling to South Georgia in the South Atlantic to visit the remains of the Salvesen whaling operation there. The collection had been given to us on permanent loan in 1969, and with subsequent additions, and was finally gifted by Christian Salvesen Investments Limited in 2012. The documentary has been produced by ‘KEO films’, and in the second episode some material from the Salvesen Archive will appear. The story of Britain’s whale hunters is to be broadcast across the UK in a new 2-part documentary on BBC Four on Monday 9 June and Monday 16 June.
