SZA's CTRL album was arguably one of the best, if not the best album of 2017. "The Weekend" off the album was an automatic stand out on the project and was unofficially dubbed the "side chick" anthem. Today, Wale comes through with his first drop of the new year with his remix of SZA's "The Weekend."

Wale's always had a certain level of R&B influence in his music throughout his career. From the top of the track, Wale sets the tone with a piece of spoken word poetry before diving into his verse. The rapper dives deep on the song as he owns up to his infidelity and questions why he does it. Wale does a great job at providing the male perspective to SZA's song.

Quotable Lyrics

I bet, you ask me
Why dont I leave
The past, but back of mind
You see me creepin now
And you thinkin' how
And then a week from now
You'll be she
