![]() But I did take a month off last month to get some things together and do some press. So, it’s kind of like the last piece of Wale before the major-label signing. Because now that I’m signed some of the things I’m talking about are kind of insignificant. Wale: I took a break from it last month, the month that I got signed. Listening Post: How long have you been working on it? It’s been getting hype for a while. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, so you’ll have to hear it all the way through to catch it. Listening Post: Is the rumor true that you got Julia Louis-Dreyfus to do a drop on the tape? Wale: Yeah, she’s on there. So a lot of things about the show, especially the dialogue between the characters, inspires me. Why a Seinfeld-themed tape? Wale: I just feel like there’s a lot of things in that show that inspire me to write and talk about different issues. Listening Post: So tell me a little about The Mixtape About Nothing. I’m influenced by all the types of music you could imagine. Listening Post: How would you describe your sound and your influences? Wale: Basically, it is a combination of all the kinds of music I’ve listened to, just spearheaded by hip-hop. Now I’m working on the album, but just the beginning stages. I’m pretty much done with the mixtape though. I’m doing my mixtape and album simultaneously. I guess this is kind of home now a little bit. Listening Post: So, how are you, and more importantly where are you? Wale: I’m in New York.
