While he is not quite to Drake's standards.... nor has he yet been dubbed "Lil Loggy", Cal Bears wide receiver, Alex Lagemann (from nearby Saratoga High School) is a talented rapper. With dynamic lyrics, cool beats, and a laid back Cali style he calls "chill-hop", I must say I enjoyed nearly every song off his album.
While looking through college football news stories, I came across a link to "Loggys" mix-tape. Admittedly I was skeptical. The list of athletes who have made rap albums is long and illustrious (if you are a Top Gun fan, finish this quote). However, the list of decent records by athletes can probably counted up on one hand. The best part in my opinion, he did all this with his Mac book and an old computer microphone. With today's technology, talent can not be stopped by the need for studio time, or a big break.
What started off as a dare, has now flourished into a possible post-football career. While Lagemann did have 12 catches for 150 yards last year, he is not exactly what Todd McShay would call a blue-chipper. The reviews by fellow MC's and music lovers are far more flattering. Give his mix-tape a listen and let me know what you think.
