Wale

By Andy Vihstadt

Published on June 12, 2008

D.C. rapper Wale (pronounced wah-lay) has been drumming up a lot of support with his free online releases. He recently issued the Seinfeld-inspired Mixtape About Nothing on his Elitaste blog. The 19-track collection features plenty of sound bites from the '90s sitcom and, of course, "The Kramer" reminds us of that other thing Michael Richards is famous for. Julia Louis-Dreyfus even pops in for the obligatory shout-out, which she concludes: "My kids are going to think I'm so cool for being on this mixtape, motherfuckah. Word up." Download it for free and pick up the limited edition Serenity Now T-shirt while supplies last.
