During the 2017 NBA Finals, reports revealed basketball superstars LeBron James and Kevin Durant once collaborated on a song. Fans only got to hear a brief snippet of the track last year, but producer Franky Wahoo has finally unearthed the “It Ain’t Easy” rap cut on SoundCloud.
According to Wahoo, the song was recorded during the 2011 NBA lockout — though he mistakenly identified the timeframe as 2012-2013. He also claimed the track was going to be featured on the newly released NBA 2K19 video game, but it didn’t make the cut for an undisclosed reason.
“Song was originally was recorded in 2012-2013 during the NBA Lockout,” Wahoo wrote on SoundCloud. “Kevin Durant & Lebron James Came to Spider studios based out of Cleveland OH , to record . The original beat was a industry instrumental and could not be used for media . So Franky Wahoo & StewBillionaire redid the production around there original vocals The song was planned to go on NBA 2K19 but never did . Here is the secret song everyone has been waiting for .”

Ok… so this song is actually good. I’m sure it’ll come with it’s share of criticisms but look at it this way. Whoever was the first verse i’m assuming KD solid. Lebron… Second verse… well let’s just say the standard of music is so low that it still flies above that bar. Solid song overall and smart to have a female on the hook and sprinkled throughout, mix that with the guitars straddling a more pop engineered song than a Hip Hop song you’ve got something here.
Good not great but definitely good.
Culture Vultures stick to basketball
The only song that’s was done by a NBA player to go down in Hip Hop Hall Fame is Shaq & Notorious B.I.G ( You Can’t Stop The Rain ) I know those goes love a challenge but I love the fact that they got love for Hip Hop .
I know I got Skillz, Biological didn’t bother and I’m outstanding were dope too, Shaq was alright compared to the rest of them
So its not so secret anymore
