BRIEF: Cavs guard Iman Shumpert gives Oak Park shout-out in Drake remix

Oct. 16--Add Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert to the list of celebrities who have remixed Drake's club hit "Hotline Bling."

Shumpert, who grew up in Oak Park, this week released "Highlight Reel," which includes shout-outs to the Chicago area: "See I'm an Oak Parker / So I root for Chicago / And I lived in a brownstone / She grew up in Harlem." Shumpert announced last month that he and singer Teyana Taylor, who grew up in Harlem, is pregnant with the couple's first child, a girl due in January.

This is not Shumpert's first foray into music. He released "Dear Kendrick" in 2013 and "Chiraq" in 2014. Shumpert, 25, attended Oak Park and River Forest High School and was selected by the New York Knicks in the 2011 NBA draft.

Erykah Badu and Disclosure and Sam Smith are among the stars who have covered "Hotline Bling."
