Wale and Jerry Seinfeld’s bromance is destined for new heights with the upcoming release of the D.C. thespian’s fourth studio effort, The Album About Nothing.

After captivating audiences with his breakout mixtape in 2008’s The Mixtape About Nothing, Wale is returning full circle with his clever presentation, scribed in the same vein of the storied television show.
