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 for the collaboration’s success.
