Milan's Rafael Leao to release a rap album

At just 21 years of age, Rafael Leao is in his second season at Milan and he is putting up some of the best numbers of his career: six goals and four assists so far.

But the Portuguese has not neglected his other passion, hip hop. He gave an interview to the magazine 'Rollingstone' and revealed that his first album, 'Beginning', will be released on Thursday 28 January.

"I really like rapping and I think that when I finish my football career I will be able to do it in life," said the 'Rossoneri' footballer.

"For now it's just a hobby, but I talk mostly about my life, the sacrifices to get here. I really admire Jay-Z for everything he has achieved in his career. Maybe in the future I can go straight to his door and make him a little more money with my songs," he added.
