UPDATE #2: Wale has unveiled two of three covers for his forthcoming project, The Album About Nothing.
The first features artwork by Sue Tsai, the artist that infamously created the painting for Wale’s “Bad” song. Within the pic, there are two sets of footsteps, which symbolize Wale and Jerry Seinfeld, walking along a dirt path towards the moon. The imprints belong to Air Jordan sneakers. Wale’s wearing the Air Jordan 4’s, while Jerry is wearing the Air Jordan 6’s, the same shoes he wore on the Complex magazine cover.
The second cover was created by Good Bully, another go-to artist for Wale. Jerry and Wale stand side-by-side on the front of this cover, donning the same sneakers from the first. The graffiti in the background represents each of the song titles on The Album About Nothing.
Check out the first two covers below:

UPDATE #3: Wale has released the third cover for his forthcoming project, The Album About Nothing. The self-proclaimed ambassador of the nation’s capital unveiled the album art via his e-mail listserve for fans, saying “This third cover was all my idea. This is essentially what the album is to Me, a moment of clarity and a moment of expression.”
The cover art depicts an animated Wale, sitting at a diner, perhaps the famous Seinfeld diner, alone. He is looking across the table as if someone else should be there.
“This cover is me staring blankly into nowhere,” Wale explained. “Jerry is not there, he’s in my mind. This album is of Jerry speaking as my conscious. The evil voice and the positive voice, he is both of them. Maybe I’m talking to myself. Maybe I’ve lost my mind. There lies a story. My story.”

UPDATE #4: The stream for The Album About Nothing is now available via Spotify.
It is as follows:
Another gold album at least for wale. Where’s Tony Yayo’s album at?
Please. Wale’s last album didn’t sell gold. This will sell less than 300K.
The Album That Sold Nothing.
LOL How you gonna compare MMG to GUNIT…
You wanna compare how many albums the unit sold compare to MMG?
Really…
Not a big Wale fan myself, but all this bullshit about album sales & comparisons to other artists’ sales. What about the quality of the album itself? What the fuck does it matter how this album or MMG measures up to G-Unit in sales? The first thing that matters is if it’s any good.
Most Hip Hop fans really suck, only caring about sales. And 85% of them download them albums anyway , whether it’s their favorite artist or not. And still bitch about them sales. I might catch some heat over that last paragraph, but hey, who the cap fits..
nigga u delusional shit will do 200-300k at best it promoted properly.
No, it will do 500k at least. Sell about 200-250k 1st week and then go gold afterwards.
wale last album didnt sell 500k so get real. ross cant even move 500k units on his last 2 albums.
@waleydough both of wale’s albums under mmg has sold over 500,000 jack ass. @bawse is right. he will sell about 200,000 his first week and go a slow gold. and what’s rick ross non selling ass have to do with wale sales. wale is number one when it comes to sells in the last three years with mmg. meek mill flopped and now he can’t even get a single out the gate. do your research before you open your mouth.
the gifted didnt even do 400k
Yes it did.
oh i see dentaldamnboy is back i get it now.
The Gifted isn’t even close to 400K. His newest album will sell less than 150K 1st week and won’t even make it to 300K.
The seinfield connections will make this go abouve 200k 1st week.
Seinfeld can’t help Wale sell records. This won’t even see over 150K 1st week.
The Gifted still aint gold. Same goes for Hood Fraudionaire and MasterCop. Tony Yoyo a mixtape rapper with platinum plaques on his wall.
who the hell wants to hear an album “about nothing”? enough with the seinfeld gimmick bruh, 3-4 mixtapes wasnt enough? let jerrys nuts breathe.
you mad because your favourites aint even international
This album is going Gold fashow
Get off Seinfelds Bozak. 4 mixtapes wasnt enough now you gotta name an album after him too?
Wale doing 100-150k max no promotion, no single wale cant drop an album like that and sell
No way Wale sells more than Big Sean with Ariana Grande co-sign. Come on now…
Never mind Wale we need another Pusha album
Seinfeld is the best show ever. Will support it just because I think its cool.
The, The, The, The.
hes jacking seinfelds shit again, thats how seinfeld named every episode of this show. wale is an unoriginal scrub
Wale is a culture vulture using Seinfeld to try and sell records.
Not feelin the Seinfeld themed shyt. But I guess its genius from a marketing perspective if your targeting middle aged, latte sippin, starbucks hangin, mandolin playin hipsters.
how is wale releasing albums faster that slaughterhouse
Slaughterhouse all have solo projects they work on when not doing the group thing.
And his albums sell more than slaughterhouse. Not to say they are better but selling some copies will get your shit put out quick. Same reason wake on his 4th and meek can’t even get his second out.

Yeah, I’m new to hip hop.. lol.
But you’re right, no need to waste time and words on a site that’s hardly in-depth about the artform itself.
Thanks for remindin’ me!
waleyyyy doh???????????
Anyone who understands the brilliance of Seinfeld has to have some redeeming qualities. I’ll listen to this album. Look, Wale has always been a nasty MC. I don’t think there’s any doubting his skills. He fell into a crowd where he started trying to be a star more than be a MC, and he wanted to pop bottles and act like a snobby prick with the other rich rappers, and it made people not like him. He’s trying to get his old fans back now, but they’re not really checkin’ for him any more. His fan base now is bitches, sportscenter anchors, and southern niggas. Good luck trying to keep them by your side.
fuck man got his music bangin when i be doing 445 am basketball, workouts before work my his music helps me get up in the morning i got that helium u lnow i can make it buy i can buy it……actually that track was playin shootin jumpers doing drills boiiii…get some…
