NBA star Trae Young enters rapper Quavo’s world in the booth in Atlanta. Trae trades his jersey for headphones, trying to keep up with Quavo’s rapid-fire flow. With Quavo coaching Trae in the world of hip-hop, can the NBA star bring the same fire to the mic as he does to the court?

Quavo:

What’s happening? What’s up, Ice?

Trae Young:

What up, family?

Quavo:

Yes, sir. 

Trae Young: 

Yes, sir.

Quavo:

In here cooking.

Trae Young: 

Doing what you do. Did you put the ad libs in?

Engineer:

Not yet. 

Trae Young:

That’s some synergy.

Quavo:

One more time. Ice Trae, Ice Quav, the Billboard way. Welcome to my world, brother. You ready? Come on man, showtime. I just cooked one up from scratch. I think this is the one. 

Trae Young:

You going to be a part of it? 

Quavo:

Oh, yeah. I need you on some ad libs or something, whatever you want to do. Either you want to pop off the intro, that’ll be hard. You talking sh– in the intro. Yeah, you know what I’m saying. Yeah, this fresh out the hibachi stove right here. We just cooked this up. 

Trae Young:

Sh–, I don’t want to mess this up. 

Quavo:

Nah, ain’t gonna mess it up. You gonna do nothing but add some more sauce to it. I got that ice on it. I put a song together, you know what I’m saying? It’s like a machine. I just cut it on, you know, like the shooting machine, like when Trae jump on the gym and just grab that ball, and the ball just, you know, keep flying away. All you gotta do is just put it through the hoop. We got the beat, we got a good beat, we got a great engineer. Only thing I gotta do is just sit in and just let the words work. Whatever tools and whatever tips you need from me. Go ahead and ask me now, because I need you with all the sh– so you can go in there and go crazy.

Keep watching for more!
