Cirroc Lofton Working On Rap Album

[Takara_Soong 4]

From TrekToday:

 

Cirroc Lofton, who said in various interviews as a teenager starring on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that he wanted to be a doctor and later a director, has a new career as a rapper, and he plans to talk about his experiences on the series.

 

"One beat will use the original Star Trek theme song and have that beat in a hip-hop type of mode," the 26-year-old Lofton told Sci Fi Wire of the new rap album on which he's working. "The Jake Sisko character will have some lines dropped in here and there." He added that he has been working on the music for the album, Divine Intervention, for six or seven years, and hopes to release it in September through Infinity World Entertainment.

 

"Rap is a very powerful tool and either can be used correctly and incorrectly, and I hope I can get my messages out there," Lofton noted. "For me, it's a natural transformation from poetry to this...I want it to be enjoyable, inspirational and educational." He did say that the language might not be appropriate for very young listeners, however.

 

Be warned, however: in a chat on the old Star Trek Continuum site, Lofton said, "I've been writing rap music for about 7 years...I can't sing, though, at all. I write lyrics."

You know Takara, Cirroc Lofton has changed greatly since DS9 ended.

 

Actually, he's well suited to be a rapper.

 

Look at what little Jake Sisko looks like today:

Are you sure thats him? It looks more like Jamal Warner from the cosby show.

 

BTW - I think Lofton is an excellent candidate for "The Surreal Life"...lol

Hopefully he'll get some sense before he puts the album out.
