Since Monday, Dallas Cowboys player Martellus Bennett has been pimping out his latest album, Fast Food, on his Twitter account. The rap mixtape is available for free download here.
Bennett is joined by Reshaud Bennett on the album. Track 1 is called "We are Moonshine Kids". If you like his sound, Martellus will be performing at the Green Elephant on Sunday, April 10.
News of the new mixtape was posted to Rockitdope.com, the clothing line that Martellus Bennett also just debuted. He introduced the line in a somewhat-coherent video, posted here. He says the clothing "represents the nerds, the geeks, the backpackers, the potheads, the 'cool kids,' the tree huggers … anybody that's ever been called weird."
His line consists of colorful t-shirts, inspired by the sneakers that Martellus is known for wearing. All the shirts are $28 and available online only. "This has been one of Martellus' passion projects for a long time," said Bree Cush, Martellus' publicist. The line will later include backpacks, hats, and skateboards.
In the video linked above, Martellus explains why he called the company Rockit Dope: "Every time I bought a shirt, I'd be like, you know what? If they did this to the shirt, it'd be even doper. So we decided to make our own line and call it Rockit Dope. It's simple: You rock it because it's dope."
Only Martellus could say that and get away with it.
