The LP does all of this while also maintaining a fun side with the strong connection to Jerry Seinfeld and his show 'Seinfeld,' pulling excerpts from the show and pieces of their conversations together. The album is not packed filled with features but makes the most of each one with guest spots from J. Cole, Usher, Jeremih, SZA and Seinfeld.
