Many rappers have paid tribute to the late Kobe Bryant after he tragically died in a helicopter crash.
The Game, Big Sean, and Hit-Boy are paying tribute to Bryant by releasing a new song about the basketball legend. Los Angeles Leakers host Justin Credible shared the preview on his Instagram page.
“I found this song that some of my friends did that I wanted to share with y’all. Another L.A. KING rapping his heart out for our hero. #RIPKOBE #RIPGIGI Don’t ask where I got it, just enjoy it. L.A. Leakers and L.A. Lakers! It’s only right,” Justin wrote in his Instagram post under a snippet of the unnamed song.
“Fuck 24/7, I’m going 24/8/That’s magic and he knew what it took to be great,” Big Sean rapped in the preview.
“I was courtside when you scored 60/Now you in heaven with my nigga from the 60s,” Game raps in the next verse. “Black Mamba, neighborhood Nipsey/That’s the type of love you throw and it come back like a frisbee.”
The Game and Big Sean have both shared their condolences on social media following Bryant’s tragic death.
“I’m sick! I can’t imagine the pain your family is feeling loosing your amazing daughter Giana and you. Feels like we all just lost a part of our family. We just spent New Years with you and yours, and I hope I’m still sleeping and will wake up from this nightmare. Thank you for changing the game and dedicating so much of your life! Mamba Mentality 4 Life!” Big Sean posted on Instagram.
The Game tweeted, “I’m sick !!!!! I love you bro. Thank you for everything. Life is short. Death is krazy.”
