Is it Malcolm X…No, it’s Wale X! This has got to be one of the dopest things that I’ve seen in a minute. Wale not only portrays the physical features of the late great Malcolm X on the June 18th cover of Unban Ink Magazine, but his versus mimic those of the 1960s activist. I love it! This photo shoot, speaks volumes! It’s just a stepping stone for an artist like Wale with ambitions. He’s taken on the character of one of his idols. Drop down bottom and check it out.

“Urban Ink—the illest tattoo magazine in the world reppin’ for the urban tattooed population—announced the release of their Summer 2013 issue. For this edition of the hottest ink mag on newsstands, Urban Ink linked up with MMG affiliate, Wale, for an exclusive photo shoot commemorating one of his most meaningful tats—a portrait of the late Malcolm X etched on his forearm.”
