//Behind The Scenes: Rapper Wale Shoots Video For “Chillin” With Lady GaGa//

D.C. rapper Wale (pronounced Wah-Lay, not Whale) is done with being just an underground sensation. He’s preparing to break into the mainstream, and he couldn’t have picked a better partner to feature on his debut: Lady GaGa.

The two got together for Wale’s first single, “Chillin,” which has taken the internet by storm since it leaked several months ago. They shot the video for the song on a chilly day in Boston on the waterfront with epic video director Chris Robinson.

Check out some pics from the set and listen to the song here if you haven’t already.
