Tinie Tempah backs Lewis Hamilton to release music album

English rapper Tinie Tempah believes that Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton should release an album if he is serious about music.

The Mercedes driver has been open about his joy for singing, but has so far maintained that he only records tracks as a hobby as opposed to a new career.

"I think it's great Lewis is trying singing," The Sun quotes Tempah as saying. "I love people who are multi-talented.

"There's no way I'd pigeon-hole anybody or tell them they can only do one thing just because that's their main job. I'd buy his CD if it was good."

Hamilton has spent numerous sessions in a recording studio with West London rapper Angel.
