Noise Pop attendees might be wondering what a 23-year-old, largely unknown rapper from Washington, DC, is doing headlining a show at the festival. But if anyone can get the hipsters' hands out of their pockets and into the air, it's Wale (pronounced wah-lay, which stands for We Ain't Like Everyone).

The young MC is already a blog favorite, thanks to an Internet-only Mark Ronson remix of Lily Allen's "Smile" that Wale busted verses on. Wale also appeared alongside hot electro act Justice on the cover of URB Magazine's 150th issue, following the release of "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.," his remix of the French duo's club hit (which he performed with Ronson's band on the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards).
