Cole Beasley is the latest athlete to cross over into the music industry.
The Dallas Cowboys diminutive wide receiver made his rap debut earlier this week, releasing a single called “80 Stings.” Beasley hopes it becomes the signature track for an album to be released in the coming months.
The early reviews were generally positive as it was one of the most popular hip-hop/rap songs on iTunes earlier this week. Beasley has drawn comparisons to rappers ranging from Eminem to Yelawolf.
“My goal is to reach music lovers all over the world," Beasley said in a news release.
