Basketball Star Turned R&B Singer Victor Oladipo Drops Debut Album
Victor Oladipo, a former Indiana Pacers shooting guard has unleashed his debut LP, V.O.
“I learned that I could get better at music just like I could get better at the game of basketball,” the 26-year-old explained in a statement to Complex. “I learned that the more and more I do it, the more comfortable I get with it. And if I keep working hard that I could be really good at it. So, it’s pretty cool to have a hobby be something you’re good at.”
The eight-song album gives 25 minutes of slow and mid-tempo bops. Putting all the baddies in a late night mood, “Lights On” taps everybody’s favorite battle rapper, Tory Lanez. “Drown,” previously released before the full-length project made its introduction, includes the sensual sound of Trey Songz. Spotlighting Eric Bellinger and PnB Rock, the LP includes rap-singers as well.
