Andre Drummond.
Rap album.
It seems like a stretch. That’s because it’s darn near impossible to be good — much less an All-Star — in both crafts. Counting the credible basketball stars who have wielded a mic and succeeded is a one-handed proposition: Shaquille O’Neal, Damian Lillard … maybe Chris Webber? Any others?
In the midst of that reserved level of cynicism, Drummond — under his pseudonym “Drummxnd” — offers his “FYI” release, with its eight party-style tracks, including several collaborations. The EP hit the online music world Friday — and it’s not bad.
And that’s not a diss.
