K'Naan: "Dayless Night"
Wale gets his promo game on, as he leaks K'Naan's cover of Kid Cudi's "Day N' Nite" (man that's a lot of apostrophes) via his Twitter page.

Joe hasn't been on TV or in stores for almost two decades, and Sega Genesis has been extinct, I started to wonder, what the f**k do kids do these days? Anyway, hit the jump to see some more pics of the past. And yes, that is a Fleer Ozzie Guillen XRC from 1985.
