In terms of inspirational athletes, Usain Bolt is right up there as the greatest of all time. He won eight gold medals in the Olympic Games, cementing his legacy as the greatest of all time. But he’s a maestro outside of sports as well; the legendary athlete released a new album named ‘Country Yutes,’ which is doing very well on the charts.
Although many people criticized him for doing this album for fun, Bolt thinks otherwise. He retaliated by speaking about his album and how people were wrong about his musical talents.

Usain Bolt opens up on his new album
In a recent interview, the Jamaican sprinter spoke on being serious about releasing his album and how he perfected his craft. Bolt’s determination to be the best in whatever he does is quite clear from the new album.
“For me, the album is the, like people should know we are serious. I think when we started off people were like, ‘oh, he is not serious, he is just joking around.’ I just want people to understand that we are serious about music. We are here to stay, we want to do proper music, and that’s why we did this album, to put it out there so people can understand.
“It is not a side hustle, it is a real business,” said Bolt.
