I remember a couple years ago, hip-hop/rap was just becoming popular with Drake and Eminem really the only major rap artists that people knew about. Fast forward to where we are now in 2018, hip-hop/rap is one of the most popular genres of music and it may even be the most popular genre of music. We've got more than Drake and Eminem now. We have Post Malone, Migos, Travis Scott and so many others.
Due to the emergence of hip-hop/rap, it has gotten many people to create their own songs. Some athletes that have released their own song, mixtape or album include Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, Steelers RB Le'Von Bell, and Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman There's one in particular you probably haven't heard of, and that is Nick Gordon who goes by the name "G Cinco.
