EXCLUSIVE: Bryant McKinnie Calls Signing With The Baltimore Ravens “A Blessing in Disguise”

Baltimore Ravens’ Bryant McKinnie is focused on his role as left tackle during his third season for the 2012 NFL Super Bowl Champs, but before he resumed that role, he put a plan in place for his record label, BMajor Music.

BMajor Music recently released Young Lace’s latest mixtape “Bi Polar II,” which features top artists like Trey Songz, Lil Mouse, Skeme, Cashout, Le$ and others. McKinnie founded the label in January of 2011, with the goal of allowing artists to “create music that allowed the freedom of self-expression.”

In addition to Young Lace, BMajor Music is working with female R&B singer BRI and male crooner, TyRell.

Before Bryant McKinnie left Miami for Owings Mills, Maryland for Ravens training camp, the 11-year veteran took a moment to speak with AllHipHop.com about his upcoming season.

He said that they have a new team and new leadership to step up since linebacker Ray Lewis and center Matt Burke retired last season.

“It was actually a blessing in disguise coming from the Vikings for nine years and then being able to go there [Baltimore] and in my first year we went to the AFC Championship and we lost to New England,” Bryant McKinnie told AllHipHop.com. “Then the following year, we made it back to the AFC Championship, played New England and won.”

He also touched on his close relationship with Ray Lewis and what prompted him to join The Ravens.

“Basically ’cause Ray Lewis didn’t allow me to make any other options,” McKinnie said of his choice to head to Baltimore. “When I left the Vikings I got a phone call from Ray Lewis and I was trying to weigh out my options with other teams. He was like ‘we need you here. You’re the missing piece to the puzzle.’ We all went to the same college so I decided that was the best fit.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess Who Says Sorry To Kanye West And Kim Kardashian?

I thought Laila Ali was a G, but it looks like she’s realized the error of her mouth. She recently talked to Egypt and said sorry to the Don ‘Ye and his Lady.

Egypt: Laila, are you there babe?

Laila: I am here, how are you doing?

Egypt: Girl, this just seems so silly. But I know that you kinda had something on your heart when I called you too that you wanted to share with everybody. How did this thing just get blown out of proportion?

Laila: Okay, I was recently at a charity event and I was asked my opinion on some of these non-traditional and creative names and I was speaking very candidly and honestly as I always do. And you know, as a parent, knowing how cruel the world is and the bullying, and you know, kids have to grow up and get a job one day, I did say that I think some of these name choices are stupid. I do realize that it was a poor choice of words, you know, and it wasn’t to single out Kim or Kanye. I actually mentioned a bunch of names, not just the name North. It was a general opinion to a question that I was asked, but it doesn’t matter. I do realize and I take responsibility for it. I have no problem doing that. It was a poor choice of words that I used.

Egypt: Okay.

Laila: You know I actually reached out to Kim and Kanye to apologize.

Egypt: You know I think that’s very admirable of you because not too many people would have…said you know what, wait. Errr! Let me just put the brakes on here. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that or it came out wrong. But you know some people would even say you only said what everybody else was thinking, you know?

Laila: Well, that usually is the case.
{{Laughs}}

Egypt: Let me tell y’all people something. If you keep naming your babies Glamadia and CharnetMoet Rose, come on they’re going to have trouble getting a job. In the future, we gotta think smart.

Laila: Exactly.

Egypt: These are your kids lives. Alright, thanks so much Laila!

Laila: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clear that up.

Egypt: Absolutely.
