Charlotte Hornets guard Lance Stephenson has released a music video for his first single as a rapper, and it is better than most other NBA rappers' efforts, which is a low bar for sure.

The video follows a pretty standard hip-hop format of Stephenson and his friends hanging out in various locales while the All-Star rhymes into the camera, and it even has a funny interlude in which Stephenson is playfully scolded by a cop who came through the video shoot.
