Kobe Bryant's short-lived rap career

Did you know Kobe Bryant had a short-lived music career as a rapper? It's right there in his Wikipedia, but it's so small that it's very easy to miss. I first learned about this through a Nardwuar interview with Snoop Dogg (yeah, go figure) where Nardwuar gifts a vinyl of Kobe's album to Snoop. It's what dreams are made of, I'm sure.

This single, "K.O.B.E." featured Tyra Banks. That's right. TYRA BANKS. Somewhere in an alternate reality, these two are mega-famous rap stars. I wonder what that world is like.
