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.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
