(Jerry Seinfeld out and about in NYC.)
Jerry Seinfeld wants to be master of a new domain: rapping. The comedian is currently working on an album with hip hop star Wale.
Wale already released a Seinfeld-themed concept album, “The Mixtape About Nothing,” back in 2008, but now he’s finally connected with the funnyman himself.
“Wale called me, he came to my show, we hung out a little bit,” Seinfeld said in a video posted by DJ Omega on Youtube. “He wanted me to do something with him. I didn’t understand it, but he did.”
Seinfeld’s wife Jessica, a Wale fan, also encouraged the project. “We’re living together, she’s into him, he’s into me, and I didn’t know about the whole thing,” he said.
The duo have since spent time in a Philadelphia recording studio, but there’s still no word on when fans can expect the tracks to drop.
