Kevin Federline Inks Deal With Sony/BMG, Lands Role In CSI

While critics may have slammed Kevin "K-Fed" Federline's debut performance as a rapper at the Teen Choice Awards, Sony BMG is taking his career serious and has inked a deal with his Federation Records record label.
The first release under the new venture will be Federline's debut album Playing with Fire, which is slated to hit stores Oct. 31. Federline, who recently completed the video for "Lose Control," has also landed a role on CBS' hit drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Federline will portray "Cole Tritt," a troubled young man who harasses the CSI team, as they investigate a serious of assaults in the Las Vegas area.
“I’m very excited about all of the opportunities that are being presented to me at this time that will allow for me to grow as an artist and please my fans,” Federline said.
Federline's debut performance during the Teen Choice Awards on Aug. 20 was lambasted in the media, with many claiming Federline doesn't have what it takes to make it as a rapper.
Coincidentally, Federline's wife Britney Spears - who has sold over 85 million records world wide - is an artist on Sony BMG's unit Jive.
