RON ARTEST GOES FROM THE COURT TO THE BOOTH

Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest is slated to release his debut rap album, My World, on August 29th. The album features guest appearances by Mike Jones, Capone, Nature, Allure, and TBone and production by Artest.

The NBA star says he can already tell who the haters are. He said,

“You know first time people don’t respect what I’m doing, I understand it because they in the rap game or in the entertainment business and they like, ‘Yo this is just some new guy wanting to rap.’ But the second go around after they see what I’m doing and see my grind after two years, three years, after eight years, and they still not respecting. Those are the guys that I think that’s hating. The guys that don’t want to help or guys that just don’t want to be my friend. In this entertainment business, you don’t make many friends and I just found that out. That’s another lesson that I learned. So all the friends that I have now, I try to keep them.”
