World Wrestling Entertainment champion John Cena used to get beat but now as WWE Champion he now needs a beat. Cena has inked a deal with Columbia Records which will release his debut album You Can’t See Me on May 10th.
Cena and partner Tha Trademarc trade rhymes throughout the album. “You almost never hear a rap crew today working like EPMD or 3rd Bass,” says
Cena. “I wanted to bring that style back a little and get away from one MC up there doing his thing. Working this way let us attack a song from different directions and create a more dynamic flow.”
The 17 track album should not be taken lightly as it features well-respected artist Freddie Foxx (aka Bumpy Knuckles) and production from the likes of Jake One (De La Soul’s “Rock Co Kane Flow”). The new video “Bad, Bad Man” premiered on Thursday night’s edition of WWE Smackdown andis a parody of the old A-Team show, featuring modern special effects stars: John Cena as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, Bumpy Knuckles as Sgt. Bosco Albert “B.A.” Baracus, Tha Trademarc as Capt. H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock, also a cameo with Different Strokes star Gary Coleman.
