Yet another NBA player is going to drop a hip hop album, however, this is coming from someone you probably never would've predicted. Obviously, the above image gives it away, but Robbie Hummel season approaching, folks! Today, Hummel hopped on Instagram to share the picture below with the following caption:


"Excited to announce that I've been in the studio grinding and have finally finished my first hip hop studio album, ROB: Road to Redemption. Look for it in stores and on iTunes this fall. #getmysnareup #turnmyheadphonesup!!!"

So, yeah, we're just going to be open-minded and reserve judgment until after we hear Hummel rap. At least, we are a little more optimistic about the 25-year-old forward's potential than his own franchise, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and their PR team, who fired off this tweet after catching wind of Hummel's announcement.

Wow. Way to put your faith in the guy, huh?

UPDATE: The mixtape is out!
