Kevin Durant releases new rap collaboration with Stalley
Despite being well-known figure in the basketball world, Kevin Durant is looking to take a dip into the music industry.
He recently released a collaboration rap single with Stalley titled ‘Scared Money’. The collaboration emerged from a vibrant group chat frequented by NBA players and rap artists.
“One day we was talking, and he was like, ‘Yo bro, send me a record to hop on,’” Stalley said after Durant had messaged him on getting into rap, in a report of Billboard.com.
Durant has shown improved skills in lyricism, as demonstrated in the aforementioned collaboration. Stalley, impressed by Durant’s commitment, expects more projects together, possibly even a joint album:
“You can tell he’s spent time finding his voice and comfortability while creating,” Stalley said of Durant’s improvements.
“I didn’t want it to feel like we just jumped on a beat and started rapping. I wanted it to feel like a complete record. I wanted us to complement each other. It wasn’t about trying to out-rap somebody.”
“Scared Money” set the pace for Stalley’s upcoming album, “Peerless,” due in March. He hopes that their partnership inspires athletes to explore music, crediting their close bond
