In last week’s edition of the Sure Shot, we teased the identity of the rapper Marty B. He’s appeared on Tum Tum’s remixed “Girlfriend” and other tracks along side local rap dignitaries. Dallas Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett (right) is indeed the rhymer in question. The first-year player, who caught four touchdowns in his debut season as a Cowboy, is no rookie whenit comes to the microphone red zone.
“I’ve been rapping ever since I can remember” says Bennett, who famously recorded the song “Throw Me the Ball Coach” during hisTexas A&M college days.
“I’m not the best rapper alive, but you will hear a lot of hits thatyou’ll like.”
He flows with a Southern lean and a hint of East Coast vibe. The catchy lead cut, “Google Me,” from Marty B’s upcoming Collective Bargaining mix tape, is already being streamed at myspace.com/currency3.
Bennett’s foray into rap hasn’t been met with all positive reviews. There’s been some controversy this week over aYouTube video in which he unleashed a profanity-laden freestyle. But Cowboys fans shouldn’t worry too much about Bennett getting distracted by the music or the hoopla surrounding it.
“I’m just doing this for fun,” he told us.“Football and the Dallas Cowboys are priority along with God, family and friends."
