If you follow Le'Veon Bell on Twitter, you know by now he released a rap song, "On A Mission."

It has been hard to avoid the news, because the Pittsburgh Steelers running back retweets just about every message congratulating him for the song (basically, there have been A LOT of fire emojis on your timeline the past few weeks if you follow Bell). It's not a bad song, especially for someone whose main occupation isn't in music. It has been listened to more than 125,000 times on SoundCloud and Bell has promised more songs to come. You can listen to "On A Mission," released under Bell's hip-hop persona of "Juice," here.

Now Bell has the attention of a hip-hop legend, because Snoop Dogg said he'd do a song with him, but Snoop wanted to make sure Bell is recovered from a season-ending knee injury suffered last season.

"I'll make it happen," Snoop told TMZ. "Make sure his leg is back right first."

Snoop is an avowed Steelers fan, so it makes sense that he'd be willing to get in the studio with Bell. It also makes sense that he'd want Bell to be focused on making sure he's healthy before he records some more songs.

But Bell seemed excited about the possibility.

That's pretty cool for Bell. Presumably some Steelers fans might be concerned that he's losing focus on his job as a running back, but there's plenty of time in an offseason to have some fun on the side. It seems Bell is off to a pretty good start with his music hobby.
