The day before his 40th birthday, Wale kicks off his just-recently-announced “Every Blue Moon” tour in the same room where he opened for Nas in 2017.

It’s anyone’s guess if the Def Jam Records rapper born Olubowale Victor Akintimehin will intersperse any of his “Seinfeld”-sampling tracks from his latest album More About Nothing, but it would be almost shocking if his practically-surprise-released single “Ghetto Speak” doesn’t make the setlist.

Tickets to see Wale play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, Sept. 20 are still available and start at $18.
