n an unprecedented comeback move, D.C. rapper Wale has added another milestone in his career: his first #1 record at Urban Radio. Although he released a torrent of music and videos leading up to the release of his sophomore album Ambition, “Lotus Flower Bomb” – featuring R&B crooner Miguel — is the second official single off the album since Wale aligned with Maybach Music Group. A video featuring “America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 5” contestant Bre Scullark is currently in rotation on MTV and BET.

Ambition remains in the Top 100 with over 270,000 units sold since its release in November. The album features appearances from Maybach Music Group brethren Rick Ross and Meek Mill, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and a host of R&B’s finest to smooth out the record including Ne-Yo, Jeremih, Miguel and Lloyd. Diplo and Lex Luger each lend their talents to the album’s soundscape amongst a handful of talented up-and-comers.

A video for the dance floor banger “Slight Work” was shot in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 15th. Directed by R&Bpop singer Chris Brown, the video features G.O.O.D Music rapper Big Sean and will debut at the top of the new year.

Following the success of nearly 50-city Ambition tour that he launched in September to coincide with the album’s release, Wale is adding additional dates in the United States as well as Canada for the first part of 2012. Dates for the new dates are after the jump
