Rick Ross Confirms Wale 'Album About Nothing' March 31 Release Date

Maybach Music head honcho Rich Ross was on hand yesterday for the 57th Annual Grammy Awards and on the red carpet he stopped to talk to Billboard for a quick interview. Rozay was asked about upcoming projects in 2015 and he was quick to mention the upcoming Wale LP The Album About Nothing, will be released on March 31.

Wale previously announced that the release date on Twitter, but nothing was ever confirmed by the label afterwards.

The project is the culmination of an unexpected, but fruitful creative friendship between Wale and Jerry Seinfeld that has resulted in three mixtapes and a studio album. A tracklist has not been announced as of yet, but Wale spoke to Hot New Hip Hop and revealed that J. Cole would have a feature on the record.

The DC rapper maintains this is his most creative and personal work to date, as he explains, "It is the most creative musical experience I have ever tried to offer. You are either going to get this joint or you are not. The people who get it are going to say this is genius."

The other artist in the MMG stable that is looking to make some serious noise in 2015, Meek Mill, real name Robert Rahmeek Williams, Ross asserts has some big things coming. Ross says about Mill, "We are excited to see his level of excitement, see what he's doing in the studio, most importantly see him back with his family [and] spending time with his son."

Mill was released from prison in December stemming from drug and gun charges and fans eagerly await his upcoming album Dreams Are Worth More Than Money. Ross the time is now for Williams and "the streets are ready to give Meek Mill the crown."

Not escaping a questions about himself, Ross says there is a "good chance" he will be releasing music this year, but wants to focus on his artists right now. Watch the interview below.
