Watch Wale Describe Meeting Obama, Twin Shadow Talks D.C. at Landmark 2015

“I actually knew that I was going to make it in rap, but I didn’t think I was going to go to the White House,” Wale said during his video interview with Fuse this weekend at Washington D.C.’s first-ever Landmark Music Festival. “Talk about music and life with the President and first lady and then perform on the National Mall off hip hop? I ain’t never think it was possible." 

Twin Shadow, meanwhile, was excited to perform amid the diversity of the D.C. crowd. “It’s so nice when you get here to see different age groups, different races. It’s just amazing the mix of people who are here,” he said.
