Symba has spent quite a bit of time in the studio with Dr. Dre as of late, and he’s revealed that the two of them have some “crazy shit” on the way.
In a new interview with HipHopDX, the Oakland native discussed his work with the West Coast legend which includes making “a lot of music,” but there’s one song in particular that stands out among the rest.

“We got a lot of music, I can say that,” he told DX. “We got this one song that’s very, very good. I think it’s like one of my best verses I’ve ever written… I hope it comes out soon.”
Symba then debunked some of the ghostwriting rumors surrounding Dre’s creative process in the studio and defended the N.W.A. icon’s pen.

“People have this idea like people just write all of Dre’s raps, but Dre be rapping,” he said. “He know what he want to say but there just be people in the rooms or somebody might throw a line out there and he might hear that, like that, tweak that up … But he know what he want to say.”

The Results Take Time rapper couldn’t put a timeframe on when the Dre collaborations would officially arrive but said they could land on other projects such as Missionary, Dre’s forthcoming joint LP with Snoop Dogg.
Symba highlighted one unreleased verse that he said blew him away after recording it with Dr. Dre.

“I said some crazy shit. It’s not out yet but it’s some crazy shit… You’ll probably hear that shit… I feel like when I be in with Dre sometimes, because it still be like a dream-come-true to me I be trying to hold my composure, so I kept it cool and when I got in the car and shit, I was like, ‘Yeah!’… I definitely lost it when I got in the car.”
Symba and Dr. Dre connected for his “Never End Up Broke” single earlier this year which was co-produced by the N.W.A. legend. Symba went on to deliver his Results Take Time album hosted by DJ Drama in September.
He also playfully teased in November that he was giving up rap to play in the NBA as part of his hometown team the Golden State Warriors.
As part of the promotion for his recent single “Welcome 2 My Season,” the Bay Area rhymer spent some time with the Warriors and joked about how he was practicing with the team ahead of making his debut on the court with them against the Boston Celtics.

“I’m here to announce the retirement of my rap career and the beginning of my basketball career. I’m officially signed as a Golden State Warrior,” he said at a fake press conference before hitting the court. “You ever seen Like Mike? Welcome to Like Symba.”
