After previously teasing something from the music studio during the summer, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young dropped a new song on Saturday.
Young’s single, titled “Where I Stay,” features guest appearances from Georgia-based rappers Quavo and 2 Chainz and was released on YouTube.
There had been hints that Young was working on something recently. The Players’ Tribune released a new video series calledSwitching Stages in which athletes and musicians got together to explore their shared connections.
The first episode featured Young and Quavo, with the former Migos frontman being shown teaching the four-time NBA All-Star how to rap.
Between the song title and some of the lyrics—particularly, the line “A-T-L-A-N-T-A-G-A is where I stay”—might be a pointed message toward Hawks management.
Much has been made about the state of Young’s contract as he enters the final guaranteed season of his current deal and his future with the Hawks. The 27-year-old recently said he’s not necessarily disappointed about the state of his talks with the organization because he’s “happy about the team that we got going into this season.”
The Hawks had one of the best offseasons of any team in the NBA, adding Kristaps Porziņģis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard. They have all the makings of a team capable of being one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
Young, in addition to moonlighting as a rapper now, will be leading the charge in Atlanta. The Hawks will open the regular season at home against the Toronto Raptors on Oct. 22.
