Hip-hop and sports have always been synonymous. Since the genre’s birth, the two have been intertwined and that’s continued up to this point in 2023.
Rappers want to be athletes and athletes want to be rappers. In some cases, there’s a bit of crossover. We’ve already ranked some of the best athletes who are rappers, so now’s a great time to look at some of their songs.
We’ve compiled the 10 best songs from athletes that you need to hear today. I’ll be completely transparent at the top — “best” is mostly subjective. While most of these songs are great, a few are admittedly bad. But it’s the shock value of them that reels you in.
And these aren’t songs from established rappers turned athletes like Master P and J Cole. Including them would be cheating.
These are the folks who you wouldn’t think would have songs. But here we are listening to them in our headphones. There’s plenty to choose from here.
So, without further ado, let’s dig in.
