Wale Releases "THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING"; GRAMMY(R)-Nominated Rapper Joined by Jerry Seinfeld on Long Awaited New Album; Collection Features Collaborations With Usher, J.Cole, Jeremih & SZA; Album Release Heralded by Electrifying Live Performance of "The G - Seite 2

On the eve of the release of his fourth studio album, Wale unveiled the cinematic visual for "The White Shoes" on Revolt Live https://youtu.be/FMdgPJSlAQ4. The Walu-directed visual follows a young kid as he is bullied for his dirty sneakers & working various jobs to save enough money to purchase a new pair of kicks, in hopes that they will change the way people view him, only to have them stolen after being beat up. The poignant clip concludes with Wale celebrating life alongside fans & friends in the streets of his hometown, Washington, D.C. "THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING" also includes the recent hit single, "The Body (feat. Jeremih)," which peaked at #2 on Mediabase's Urban chart. That song's companion video clip is nearing 3.8 million individual page views at http://youtu.be/zQMMI8itli8.

"THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING" sees Wale continuing his famed "ABOUT NOTHING" mixtape trilogy with his most eclectic, entertaining, and extraordinary album to date. Fans who purchased the special pre-order bundle via Wale's official web store received a one-of-a-kind Wale snapback as well as a copy of "THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING," which was paired with exclusive bundle-only artwork, designed by Sue Tsai. Wale also unveiled two additional album covers, both of which are available at physical retailers now. 

As its title suggests, the album sees the GRAMMY®-nominated rapper continuing to express the inspiration of his favorite TV show, Seinfeld -- a relationship that has since blossomed into a real life friendship between Wale and Jerry Seinfeld himself. The legendary comedian is prominently featured on "THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING," contributing skits and segments which fuel Wale's one-of-a-kind raps. The two superstars recently sat down at New York City's Remedy Diner for an exclusive cover feature in the December 2014/January 2015 issue of Complex (www.complex.com/covers/wale-seinfeld-interview-2014-cover-story).

Wale is of course one of the most idiosyncratic talents in hip-hop history. The Washington, DC-based rapper began unleashing his distinctive mixtapes in 2005, ultimately releasing his debut album, "ATTENTION DEFECIT," in 2009. He signed with Maybach Music Group in 2011 and soon unveiled his breakthrough second album, "AMBITION." Highlighted by such singles as the RIAA gold certified "Lotus Flower Bomb (Feat. Miguel)," the album debuted at #1 on both Billboard's "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" and "Top Rap Albums" charts while also entering at #2 on the overall Billboard "Top 200 Albums" chart. High profile appearances on a variety of MMG releases followed, including label founder Rick Ross' RIAA gold certified, GRAMMY®-nominated "GOD FORGIVE, I DON'T," as well as all three volumes of the massively popular "MMG PRESENTS: SELF MADE" series.
