Now for those of you that aren't aware of my musical alignment, I think it's no exaggeration that I have and will always swear by rap artist Wale's music and work ethic ever, since his "100 miles & Running mixtape was brought to my attention in 2007. I was 17 impressionable and a ripe Musical audience. I grew up around a dichotomy of musical backgrounds. I grew up in north west London, where my Mother and Father being incredibly soulful with their musical intellect were predominantly Motown romantics which often resulted in the autonomous response of them swaying with each other to Shalamar or Diana Ross as My younger brother and I watched in juvenile immaturity not really appreciating there displays of affection in front us. Anyway I digress, the other background was rap and hip-hop, of which I was more immersed in courtesy of my brother and god brother.
Trying to describe listening to 100 miles & Running for the first time was like a PhD professor who has has made the greatest discovery of their life, to a layman. I loved it but many of my friends disregarded my enthusiasm as a passing phase that would simmer down after the proverbial "15 minute of fame" were over. As time went on, I closely followed Wale's musical creations amongst the 14 compilations he either authored or contributed to, the "Nothing" tapes, which were loosely designed around the #1 US comedy Seinfield resulted in becoming the most influential artifact of music to me at a time when I ached for something original, and if you haven't already listened to them, it begs the questions: where have you been and why the hell aren't you listening to it now?!
Now to the real reason I'm writing this article. The DC native rapper is dropping an album for this coming fall/autumn called The Album About Nothing following the same theme as the previous two "Nothing" tapes with none other than Jerry Seinfield himself being an integral part of the production as suggested at the end of the Gifted album, Wale's most recent studio album. As a taste of what is to come Wale has fed his fans breadcrumbs in the form of Visual productions and what I assume are handpicked songs to be put on the album. This can be found below enjoy!!!!
#TAAN coming soon................
