Meet the Army’s first full-time rappers
By Jonathan Lehrfeld
 Feb 8, 03:33 PM

 
The Army now has official rappers among its ranks with a mission to turn the service cool ... finally.

Staff Sgts. Lamar Riddick and Nicholas Feemster were selected as the first two vocalists with the U.S. Army Field Band to serve as full-time rappers.


The pair debuted its lyrical prowess for the service in August during the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo — an annual gathering of international military bands.


The field band’s communications director Rob Piper told Military Times in a statement that “[t]he Army is always looking for ways to better connect with and represent all Americans. Adding these talented artists, who can do so with passion and authenticity, is not only great talent management, but helps the Army better reflect society as a whole.”

I suppose the shows will now begin with a Star Spangled Banner rap because it would be woke and "cool." :headbang:

C'mon man! You're telling me that the Army has never had full time crappers before? I mean one example I know of was Al Gore.
