Andy Murray the rapper?…don’t give up your day job!

Andy Murray agreed to add his vocal talents to a song by former Wimbledon doubles champs Bob and Mike Bryan.
But his first venture into music is unlikely to be a smash – after industry buffs branded it a right racket.
On the track Autograph – about the attention sports stars get from autograph hunters – the tennis world No 4 raps in his monotone voice: “During Wimbledon it really gets crazy. My hand cramps up and my mind gets hazy.
“I sign and sign but the line doesn’t end. Wake me up tomorrow and let’s do it again. Autograph.”
Bob and Mike convinced Murray, of Dunblane, Perthshire, and fellow star Novak Djokovic to lend their voices to the song – released on album Let It Rip, only available on iTunes.
But Edinburgh-based music industry boss Ronnie Gurr – who has worked with top bands like Stereophonics and Culture Club – said: “Murray spectacularly fails to grasp the concept that rapping must have a rhythmic dynamic.
“What this amounts to is nothing more than reading aloud a bad lyric on the plight of celebrities asked to sign their names for adoring fans.
“Never has the maxim ‘never give up your day job’ been more apt.”
