Exposed Vocals just sat down with NFL Wide Receiver and R&B Singer, Nathan ‘Napalm’ Palmer- Talked NFL to Center Stage

From Deion Sanders to Shaquille O’Neal, professional athletes have historically tried their hand at the full recording artist route with varied results. Some professional ballers like former Cleveland Cavalier Daniel Gibson have even quit outright to pursue music.

Someone who appreciated the diss record is former Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders wide receiver-turned-R&B crooner Nathan Palmer a.k.a. Napalm.

“I feel good about it because I feel like athletes aren’t scared to talk now,” Napalm told HipHopDX. “Before, we would be scared to talk to the media and say anything because of how they would respond to us and they could kill our careers. I feel like that’s a dope way to do it. Put it in the music. Everybody knows the greatest stuff comes out of diss tracks. Some of the greatest artists, some of the greatest people have come out with diss tracks. I think that’s actually dope. In a way, I probably wouldn’t have gone at Skip Bayless because I mess with Skip Bayless, but I think it’s pretty dope that he did it that way. Le’Veon got bars low key. He’s one of those people who are kind of changing the tide for athletes doing music.”

After outright leaving the league for music, Napalm totally understands the risk and criticism that comes with making such a bold decision.
