Leonard, who is injured (knee) this year and likely will not play much of this season for the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, said that a portion from each song stream from the album will go to the charity Mamba & Mambacita, which was started in the name of fallen NBA star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi.
“It’s just something that could uplift our community. And a portion of each stream is gonna go to the Mamba & Mambacita [Sports] Foundation,” Leonard said, according to Complex. “It’s just something good for the community, you know what I mean?”
On Tuesday (Oct. 19), Leonard shared a new track, “Bestie,” which features A Boogie With Da Hoodie and Capella Grey. Watch the video below.
Reportedly, Leonard intends to release the new music in two parts, with Culture Jam Part 1 coming Friday (Oct. 22) and Part 2 slated for another time in the future.
Culture Jam posted on Instagram earlier this week, saying, “In the studio cooking up something for you guys. Project done, @liluzivert blessed.”
