Clint Dempsey Set to Release New Rap Album Titled 'The Redux' with Rapper XO

Clint Dempsey is releasing a rap album.

The American forward, mostly known for his tendency to score big goals in big moments—like a very impressive strike just 32 seconds into the United States' World Cup opener against Ghana—reportedly recorded the 13-track record with rapper XO before travelling to Brazil.

The Wall Street Journal has the details: 

"

Unbeknown to his fans and teammates, the 31-year-old Mr. Dempsey spent two weeks in Los Angeles during the off-season recording a 13-track album, 'The Redux,' which he and his friend, the rapper XO, plan to release in the months ahead. Using his artist name 'Deuce,' Major League Soccer's highest-paid player raps about going from rags to riches, 'banging Gs' (scoring goals) and being 'Captain America.'

"

This isn't the first time Dempsey has been in the news for his musical skills, either. Remember his 2006 single "Don't Tread"?
