A Post About Nothing...

So anybody who knows me knows that I am lowkey in love with the DMV (DC/Maryland/Virginia) area...especially with the capital's rap ambassador Wale. I've loved him from the first time I heard him on the #1 College Radio Station WHBC 830 AM (please pardon the shameless plug, lol). His flow is dope, is style is fly, and his swag is...irresistible. He has MAJOR buzz in the industry and has already worked with everybody from Bun B to Black Thought to MIA & Lily Allen, and you can't forget to the Mark Ronson endorsement that you have to throw in there. If I could attempt to describe him as a rapper, it would be to take everything you like about Lupe to everything you like about Weezy and add a DC Go-Go beat. Anyways, he just dropped The Mixtape About Nothing that has a nice concept based on Seinfeld, "The Show About Nothing"...and to me, it tops that other album that leaked on the 30th (no disrespect to Weezy the Martian).

You can download the mixtape at his blog: elitaste

Right now, he is having a contest in conjunction with URB magazine where they are giving away one of these customized New Eras per day for a week. (Thanks to HIGHSNOBIETY for the pic)
