Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball has opinions about music, and it seems like everyone wants to know what those opinions are. After dissing Nas and dropping his own track about his brother’s shoes, it was only a matter of time before we learned more about his musical interests.
As it turns out, his favorite rapper was probably your favorite rapper in high school, too, if you’re around a certain age. Ball gave an interview to XXL Mag that was released on Friday where he talked about Facebook Watch show and, more importantly, his music career.
Ball said that he has more music in the pipeline, and he gave an interesting answer when asked who his favorite rapper is.
“When I was little I definitely listened to a lot of DMX and 50 Cent,” Ball said. “Those were probably the two main rappers I was listening to when I was young, but my favorite rapper has always been Lil Wayne.”
Wayne has been doing this for so long and has always been consistent with his music. Lyrically, he’s definitely one of my favorites to do it. I need him to be free so he could put that other album out for me, but he’s already put a lot towards the game.
Ball said there’s officially a Big Baller Brand record label, and that he’s working on a mixtape as well.
“We actually set up a label and there’s definitely stuff coming in the near future,” Ball said. “I can’t really talk about the upcoming stuff, but more is to come.”
It sounds like we will be hearing even more from Ball in the future. I know, I’m as shocked as you are.
