Ron Ron Reenters Rap Game


I love Ron Artest. Loved him at St. John's. Loved him when he applied for a job at Circuit City. As he clawed his way up the ladder to NBA stardom. When he asked for a month off of basketball just to rest. As he took off into the stands. On the cover of SI with Larry Legend. And, now more than ever, I love him as he's releasing a new album next month.

Seriously, it drops on Halloween, the day before the Kings first game, and he'll allegedly be promoting it on Live With Regis and Kathie Lee Kelly, among other places. Here are other details you certainly can't live without, courtesy of Sactown Royalty...

"The first single, Fever, is apparently being heard. (I can't find it, though I don't regularly attend mix shows or listen to much hip hop FM radio.) The B-side to Fever is, um, called Working the Pole. I wonder what that's about."

Of course, if you're a longtime reader of Mr. Irrelevant or listener of Sports Bloggers Live (thank you), then you've heard Artest shot calling before. This is what it sounded like when he stopped by SBL last November for what was one of our more memorable moments...

    Let the record show that before there was an SBL, my IM was the one that got Ron to freestyle on AOL Radio. This was during the Jess Atkinson era, and the younger Mottram brother can attest to it.
