Equipped with a $21 million contract, Lonzo Ball‘s overcoming his knee issues this season with the Chicago Bulls as his little brother LaMelo has shined enough with the Charlotte Hornets to earn him a staggering five-year $260 million deal.
But their middle brother, LiAngelo, hasn’t had the easiest ride. He has only played for a few G League teams and Lithuania’s Prenai after deciding to leave UCLA while serving a year-long suspension for allegedly stealing sunglasses in China.
On Angel Reese‘s Unapologetically Angel podcast, Lonzo expressed that Gelo’s best bet is to play overseas, but he’s got another career in mind: music.
The 26-year-old recently hung out with streamer N3on, and while driving him around, he decided to play some unreleased he made recently to some of his more than 380,000 followers.

“I might swerve and bend that corner like woah, b-tch hold on tight, cause I’ll tweak in this b-tch start letting sh-t go. And I heard that she wanna show me who she be,” he raps in a sing-songy voice reminiscent of Ja Rule and Nelly in the early aughts. “I’m kinda f-cking with it; show me some more.”

An ecstatic N3on can be seen in the back seat nodding his head, and rather than roasting the middle Ball brother, social media agrees.
Sounding like a modern-day Chamillionaire, the song has already been compared to WWE entrance music and played over a Druski skit about the Tall Tee era.
Fans are actually looking forward to the song, constantly replaying the memorable snippet. So Gelo’s ready to capitalize off the hype and plans to drop the song, entitled ‘G3’ on WorldStar Hip Hop’s YouTube page on Jan.3 at 4 p.m.
The comment section is already flooded with the song’s lyrics and fans reminiscing on the era of baggy jeans and headbands, so it seems Gelo might have a nostalgic hit on his hands.
