Wale Admits He’s ‘Flawed’ In His Stylish New Video With Gunna
‘Flawed’ marks the two dreadlocked rappers’ first collaboration. …
Wale is back with another confessional, emotive anthem to play when you’re alone in your room at 3 AM after a few too many drinks. In “Flawed,” he admits that “everybody flawed, I could never need you,” but that he wishes the object of his affection well despite breaking things off. “I could never hate you,” he sighs, “You cool with everybody, guess I’m everybody too.” Meanwhile, guest rapper Gunna praises the loyalty of a potential paramour but says “I couldn’t see me house wifin’ you.” “Flawed” also marks the two dreadlocked rappers’ first collaboration, arriving with a stylish, black and white video that shows off their shared gift for dressing up.
While Wale is a year removed from his last album, 2019’s mature Wow… That’s Crazy, he’s kept himself visible throughout the year, mainly through a string of collabs with longtime friends like Big Sean and IDK. He also released an EP, The Imperfect Storm, and continued to support Wow… with the statement video for “Sue Me” after cutting his tour for the album short.
On the other hand, Gunna has been dropping video after video for his own album, Wunna, highlighted by “Blindfold” with Lil Baby and “Dollaz On My Head” with Young Thug. Meanwhile, his list of feature verses includes the intensely viral “Lemonade” by Internet Money, “Fox 5” with fellow YSL rapper Lil Keed, and “Blind” from DaBaby’s deluxe version of Blame It On Baby
Watch the “Flawed” video above.
Wale and Gunna are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”
Life isn’t always a straight line, and Alwyn Morrison explores that in “Trial,” a four-track EP that goes beyond the familiar territory of love and heartbreak. The project blends pop, rock, and singer-songwriter influences, exploring themes of betrayal, false accusations, emotional pain, self-defense, and survival. Each track is inspired by courtrooms and is a step in a personal journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately freedom.
The first track, “Puzzle Piece,” is Morrison’s raw, heavy alternative rock sound, fitting the weight of betrayal and false accusations. The song has a sense of tension, putting you in the shoes of someone trying to understand a difficult situation. Followed by “Everybody Bleeds,” which follows that emotional path, creating a song about confusion, openness, and the struggles we all face, and it’s an emotional listen, with hard truths and personal experiences laid bare.
The project’s focus track, “Monster,” goes into more personal territory. It explores what happens when we are judged or condemned for the choices we make, and it carries a message that goes far beyond Morrison’s own experience. The central theme will strike a chord with anyone who has felt misunderstood, unfairly labeled, or defined by others’ opinions.
The EP closes with “Fireflies,” a track that shifts the mood, contrasting childhood innocence and memories with the realities of adult life. The sequence moves the story toward resilience, survival, and earned acceptance. Alwyn Morrison spins a musical tale of hard life experiences put to the test. The courtroom concept gives the four songs real purpose to move on without letting past experience dictate the future.

Fanny Alexandra explores emotional recovery and self-discovery on “Ceasefire”
Not every fight ends a relationship, and there could be long-term emotional damage, with questions about identity, attachment, and the difficult path to moving on. “Ceasefire” is a ghostly alternative rock ballad in which Fanny Alexandra navigates difficult terrain, exploring emotional dependency and the search for selfhood after a toxic relationship.
“Ceasefire” is full of sad melodies and hints of atmospheric rock, making it a dark, cinematic listen. The song’s alt-rock pivot provides an emotionally charged foundation, and it’s about the internal battle, especially when your identity has been so tied to another person.
Fanny Alexandra’s ethereal vocal approach suits the song, lending real emotional weight to the exploration of self-loss and internal tension. “Ceasefire” is a reflective track, with atmospheric instrumentation and deeply personal songwriting that capture feelings that can linger long after a tough chapter closes.
It’s about finding yourself again, and its emotional arc moves from openness and dependence to the hard-earned discovery that personal freedom is more than just walking away. Fanny Alexandra’s love for dark, emotional alternative music inspired “Ceasefire.” Her art is about intimate storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and making music that explores the quieter struggles people tend to keep inside. In this record, she turns the fallout from a toxic relationship into a meditative reflection on the long road to selfhood.
