Wale dropped a video for his recent collaboration with Jeremih, "The Body." The track, which is off of Wale's upcoming The Album about Nothing, follows the rapper's recent mixtape, Festivus. Instead of looking for a girl with "the body" at a club or bar, Wale is more romantic in the video.
The rapper is pulling all the stops out in the video. The pair meet at a bookstore and hit it off. Wale continues to pursue the young woman and everything ends happily ever after. Check it out below via XXL.
Wale's The Album about Nothing is due out March 31. It will be the follow-up to 2013's The Gifted, which received a 5.1 rating by Pitchfork. "What seems to be the main purpose of the record is to elevate Wale beyond the level of Rick Ross' reliable second-stringer, a guy who's capable of dropping the occasional strip club anthem in between a steady string of unremarkable features on pop songs," they write.
"I am makin this album with my fans in mind," he said on Instagram when talking about the album. "I am showin you all my flaws fears insecurities like F-KIT Like it or not this is me. I will be releasing video blogs documentary style . Until albums release . I really want this to rally my fans . I know it's not possible to talk to all of you but my goal is to get a solid understanding of what many of you want . My goal is to show you as much as I can of ME the issues that happen when trying make a project this out the box ."
Jerry Seinfeld helped inspire Wale's last effort, the Festivus mixtape. The rapper and the comedian sat down for coffee last month and the results were entertaining to say the least. Wale dropped a trailer for the album in September that featured the comedian as well.
