Kevin Hart launches rap career with ‘Baller Alert,’ ventures into tech with KEVMOJI app

Comedian Kevin Hart is now officially a rapper after the “Ride Along” actor finally released his maiden hip-hop soundtrack Monday.

Also known as “Chocolate Droppa,” the 37-year-old standup comedian dropped his maiden track “Baller Alert,” featuring T.I. and Migos, under Motown Records.

On Instagram, Hart described himself as the up-and-coming comedic rock star of the hip-hop industry.

“My message to all of you rappers is to duck because Droppa is coming out and he's shooting at everybody!” he said.

“Baller Alert” is part of the “What Now? (The Mixtape),” of the upcoming film “Kevin Hart: What Now?” which will be shown in theatres starting Oct. 14. The film documents Hart’s performance before a crowd of 50,000 people at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
