Several NFL players have momentarily traded their cleats for a recording studio microphone
“People can’t put us in a box,” said Waller, whose great-grandfather was the legendary jazz artist Thomas “Fats” Waller. The Pro Bowler has already released four hip-hop albums — which showcased his talents as a rapper, producer and writer.
“These dudes can rap,” said Bas, a Grammy-nominated rapper who shared his musical expertise during the players recording sessions. “It’s very unfair to pigeonhole anybody. People see like these big NFL players and they say ‘Do your one job, tackle somebody or run that route.’ But creativity is part of a healthy life. I know these guys have strict schedules, OTAs and camp. For them to put the time in, they’re not on vacation. They’re really trying to expand their craft. It’s humbling to watch.
The project came into fruition after an NFL Career Tour stop was hosted at Interscope’s headquarters earlier this year. The day-long session featured executives from the music industry, interactive listening sessions and about 20 players who showed interest in the business of music — from marketing, producing and signing talent.
