...also given the city a boost. The number of visitors from abroad is up 2.5 times since 2003. Just as dramatic is the influx of foreigners moving to Berlin to live - they now make up almost 1 in 7 of its 3.5 million inhabitants. The number of non-German Europeans living in Berlin has more than doubled since 2003. There are now more of them than Turks, who long made up the largest contingent of foreigners.

...many tracks Wale portrays himself as an industry outsider who has had to fight the establishment to earn his due respect. Nowhere is this clearer than on “Triumph,” the strongest of Wale’s non-collaborative efforts on the album and also the first track. He unabashedly claims that he “asked Mr. West for a little bit of help” but was rejected, proof of the fact that new artists “gotta get it ourself.” On “Mirror,” Wale...
