Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard celebrated the release of his debut album, "Culture Jam Vol. 1," on Friday.

Described as a "crossover between basketball and music, art and culture," the project features Lil Uzi Vert, NBA YoungBoy, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Polo G, Rod Wave, Gunna, Ty Dolla $ign, Yung Bleu, and more. Culture Jam's Twitter account also teased the potential release of a track by Leonard himself.

Leonard explained during a press conference in May that he wanted to create the project to help uplift the community.

"It just merges basketball and music together. It's always been something on my mind that I wanted to do," Leonard said. "So, it's just something that could uplift our community. And, you know, a portion of each stream is gonna go to the Mamba and Mambacita (Sports) Foundation. It's just something good for the community, you know what I mean?"

Along with the album release, Leonard will be hosting the first annual Culture Jam Sports and Music Festival in L.A. on Nov. 21 at the Shrine Auditorium.
