The discography of American rapper Wale consists of eight studio albums, three compilation albums, ten mixtapes, one extended play, sixty-five singles (including twenty-seven as a featured artist), two promotional singles and forty-one music videos. In 2005, Wale started his music career by releasing mixtapes in the Washington, D.C. area. His debut mixtape was titled Paint a Picture. Following that, Wale released his second mixtape in 2006, Hate Is the New Love. That same year, Wale signed with a local record label in Studio 43. In 2007, Wale was discovered by Mark Ronson and signed with his record label Allido Records, who released his third mixtape, 100 Miles & Running in July of that year.

In 2008, Allido and Wale entered a joint venture contract with Interscope Records, which released his fourth mixtape, The Mixtape About Nothing, which is Seinfeld-themed. In 2009, Wale also released his debut studio album, Attention Deficit, which contains three singles, "Chillin", featuring Lady Gaga, "Pretty Girls", featuring Gucci Mane, and Weensey, and "World Tour", featuring Jazmine Sullivan. After going on tour with Jay-Z in 2009, Wale became a managed artist of Jay-Z's recording label, Roc Nation, to help with all management duties. In that same year, he released his fifth mixtape, Back to the Feature. In 2010, he released his sixth (and second Seinfeld-themed) mixtape, More About Nothing under his own independent label, The Board Administration.

In 2011, Wale signed to Maybach Music Group where a compilation album named Self Made Vol. 1 was released. It topped R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and Top Rap Albums, while peaking a number five on the Billboard 200 chart. Wale released his second studio album, Ambition, on November 1, 2011. It peaked at number two on the Billboard 200, and topped R&B/Hip-Hop Albums as well as Top Rap Albums.
