Martellus Bennett isn't a rapper, but some of his friends are. That's pretty much a direct quote.

The eccentric Green Bay Packers tight end released, along with some of his more musical friends, a five-song EP Wednesday literally titled: "I'm not a Rapper but Some of my Friends Are..."

Bennett's voice appears briefly on the tracks, but most of the music is performed by a combination of MatchBox Tony, David Allen Dope, Keith Jacobs, Low Down, Franchise Tief, and Shaud Money.

The 30-year-old NFLer explained on his SoundCloud account why he made the EP:

'I am not a rapper but some of my friends are..' is exactly what the title says it it (sic) is. It was just me and some of my friends hanging out in the studio making music for fun and this is what came out of it. Pretty cool to have so many talented friends and be able to create with them at a high level. I am on a mission to express my creativity in as many ways as possible in 2017, this is a part of my creative journey. Enjoy.
