Maybach Music Group continues to solidify it’s stake in the rap game with the release of a new mixtape from DC’s-finest Wale. Wale took to Twitter last Wednesday at 1:11pm EDT to upload “The Eleven One Eleven Theory” as a make-good to fans who helped him reach 1 million followers on the social networking site disrupting service for not only Hulkshare, but another download portal, Sendspace. According to Hulkshare, the traffic surrounding the downlad to its server resulted in temporary crash to the site. CEO Ted Brinkofski commented, ”This is actually the first time it’s due to an exisitng file. It’s certainly an exciting milestone, but not a pleasureable one.” While other major acts have used Hulkshare to release music, Wale’s newest effort was the first time the site experienced such technical difficulties. The result lead to 7 trending topics on Twitter associated with Wale and the mixtape.

With over 100k downloads in the first few hours of release, the album has received an overwhelming response across the blogosphere. Russell Simmons’ GlobalGrind.com stated, “Wale is continuously letting us know that he is a great contender in the music industry.” Examiner.com heralded Wale as “one of the best rappers in the game, and he’s put in some major work to get there. [T]he DC rapper always brings his brilliant wordplay to every tape.” OkayPlayer.com summed up the expereince with, “By 2:22pm, I have digested it and found it post-worthy. By 3:33pm, I predict you will be well into it, too.” The mixtape is still available on Jay-Z’s LifeandTimes.com: http://lifeandtimes.com/wale-the-eleven-one-eleven-theory.

Wale is currently on the Roc Nation Heinken DJ Lounge tour along side Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifia, Lupe Fiasco, Meek Mill, Big Sean and many more. The dates of these shows are after the jump.
