Today is a great day. Ray Lewis has released original music.
The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker and current ESPN analyst posted a snippet of his new single "Can You Stand The Rain" on his Instagram page on Thursday.
Here's your taste:
An Internet search reveals Lewis has some connection to the music business in his past. In 2013, Under Armour funded a mixtape produced by Pharrell Williams that included random cuts of Lewis motivational blather to teammates. It was weird.
"Can You Stand The Rain" (no question mark necessary) appears to be a full-on Lewis solo joint. This is pure, unvarnished 52. His heart, your ears, society's pleasure. I have seen the future of contemporary R&B and his name is Ray Ray.
