Kevin Durant Slides Over Stalley’s “Scar ed Money” Track

by

Kevin Durant is one of many NBA superstars to express their passion for music, especially hip-hop. We have seen plenty of examples in the past and present and some are still going strong today. Shaq and Damian Lillard are the two most prominent names producing some interesting material. A couple of days ago TMZ recovered a sneak peek of Kevin Durant and Massillon, Ohio rapper, Stalley, laying down some verses. Well, the day has arrived as this first-time duo has just dropped their song “Scared Money.” It is a very low-key vibe with soft boom-baps and an almost jazz-like instrumental.

Both sound ultra-buttery smooth, especially Kevin Durant. Again, he loves music, but he does not have much experience on the mic. He actually has another feature that was released way back in 2012 with Chevy Woods and Privaledge. That was called “Some Winners.” For Stalley, “Scared Money” is also the title track of his new EP. The veteran Midwest MC put three songs it, with “Farming” being the lead single.

Additionally, this tape serves as a precursor to Stalley’s full-length album. It will be called Peerless and it is expected to see a March release date. TMZ says this collaboration came to be because KD was wanting to rap on something and he reached out to Stalley for the opportunity. Travonne Edwards, a mutual friend, helped create the beat that you can hear above. Fans are also loving the record online and for good reason.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Scared Money,” by Stalley and Kevin Durant? Should he Durant drop a full project at some point, why or why not? Is he the best current NBA rapper? Is this the strongest track from Stalley’s new EP Scared Money? Does this have you excited for his forthcoming album?

When it comes to the world of the NBA, there have been many players who have indulged in making music. Overall, there are some talented individuals who have done this. For instance, you have the likes of Allen Iverson, Shaq, Damian Lillard, Stephen Jackson, and even Kobe Bryant. However, these athletes have had varying degrees of success when it comes to rapping. We even outlined the history of this phenomenon in a piece simply called Rap Or Go To The League.

That said, there has long been a debate centered around who is the best NBA rapper of all-time. In the contemporary era of the NBA, most would look toward Damian Lillard. However, those who know the history would likely say Shaq. After all, Shaq was a pioneer in this space. He dropped numerous albums in the 90s, and they all did very well commercially.

“@shaq greatest NBA rapper of all time,” Snoop said simply. Overall, this is a pretty good choice. After all, Snoop was killing it in the 90s when Shaq would have been dropping his albums. At this point, the NBA legend has built up quite the resume in music. However, these days, he is mostly focused on his job as a DJ. He even dropped a new album that is filled with songs that will have fans reminiscing about the dubstep days. Regardless, fans still remember his contributions to rap and just how influential they were.

This upcoming season, we will get to see Shaq on Inside The NBA throughout the National Basketball Association campaign. With Charles Barkley by his side, the show will continue to be a lot of fun. That said, let us know your thoughts on Snoop Dogg’s take, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports and music worlds.
