On his recent release, The Album About Nothing, Washington D.C., hip-hop musician Wale has a lot of relatable things to say. The deeply personal album lightens up through its connection to the popular ’90s TV show “Seinfeld,” even featuring a guest appearance by the comedian as its narrator (Wale refers to Jerry Seinfeld as his “conscience”), and resulting in an unlikely friendship between the performer of “Lotus Flower Bomb” and the co-creator of the sitcom that gave us “yada, yada, yada.”
$30-130, Monday, October 10. 8pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.
