The secret's out.
San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan said in an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report that he made a rap album.
"Only people close to me know this, but I have an album/mixtape," DeRozan said (starts around the 9:15 mark). "You know, last two summers, honestly, I've been thinking about, like, just leaking a song and see what happen."
DeRozan described his sound as "West Coast/Compton" and said he's been compared to Ice Cube.
"I did have a few of my rapper friends kind of compliment me, so it gave me a little more confidence," DeRozan said, adding that Kendrick Lamar and Drake have both listened to his songs.
