Days after Wale announced his plans to release a project before the scheduled 2015 release of The Album About Nothing, the Maybach Music Group rapper has dropped his Festivus mixtape.
Released on December 23, Festivus, which serves as a collaboration between Wale and A-Trak, features guest appearances from A$AP Ferg, Fat Trel, Pusha T, Chance The Rapper, Ab-Soul, and a handful of other artists.
Earlier this month, after some speculation, Wale confirmed that the title of his newly-released mixtape was inspired by an episode of “Seinfeld.” Over the past year, Wale has collaborated with Jerry Seinfeld, comedian and former star of “Seinfeld,” on numerous occasions.
Most recently, Wale and Seinfeld were featured in a video poking fun of the rapper’s phone rant aimed at those at Complex.
Festivus is available for download at HotNewHipHop.
