A Lil Positivity: Future, Rick Ross & The Game Team With Lamar Odom, Iman Shumpert And More To Make Positive, Kid Friendly Jams

It’s hard to find appropriate lyrics for mini-rap fans to listen to. Even if the songs are edited, rarely are the youngest hip hop heads hearing much to uplift or inspire them. In steps The Cherry Party, a newly formed record label in joint venture with Sony Music. Their debut project, “Full Court Press, Vol 1,” is a compilation album teaming up recording artists with athletes to promote clean, positive and influential music for young people. Slated for a fall release, the album features appearances from Future , Rick Ross, The Game , Ma$e and Twista, to name a few. Some of the basketball players featured on the album include Lamar Odom, Carlos Boozer, Iman Shumpert, Glenn “Big Baby” Davis and more. The first single is called,”I’m a Champion” and features Shawn Marion, T-Pain, Dorrough & Young Cash. Take a listen: Proceeds from the album will go to the ‘NPlay Foundation, a charity that aims to end childhood obesity and has started implementing physical education programs in schools across the nation. Nice! Will you be grabbing a copy for your little ones?

Keep Your Days Jobs: 14 NBA Ballers Including Lamar Odom Set To Release “Full Court Press Vol. 1″ Rap Album

Please for the love of our ears… 14 NBA Players Contribute To Full Court Press Vol. 1 Rap Album If there is one thing NBA players love more than playing basketball, it’s thinking they can release a viable rap album. There is a video floating around with a great deal of both good and bad news. As always, we delve into the bad first. It’s as simple as NBA stars heading into a recording studio armed with years of basketball training—hardly the correct weaponry to spit rhymes. Yes, some are quite good at the rap game. I will include Stephen Jackson on this short list. But there have also been far too many misses along the way. Not that any of that matters, because in the end, you will be rooting for this album—entitled Full Court Press: Volume 1—to succeed. Slam Online has a little more information on an upcoming album featuring 14 NBA stars and hip-hop veterans like “Rick Ross, Trina, Snoop Dogg, Birdman, The Game, Twista, T-Pain and others.” All proceeds from the album, which has a tentative release date of All-Star Weekend in February 2013, will benefit children in the community looking to receive education in the music business. For the record some of the other ballers trying their damndest to rap spitting hot bars of fire will be Juwan Howard, Baron Davis, Trevor Ariza, Lamar Odom, Carlos Boozer, Glen Davis, Shawn Marion, Josh Smith and others. Peep the preview below. We agree that this album could raise money for the kids and that is a good thing, but if it sucks it might just convince them to quit music and go to college! Take a look at some of the other ballers that made terrible attempts at stepping behind the mic on the flipside. Images via YouTube/AP
