Shaquille O’Neal, the NBA legend known for his dominance on the basketball court, is making a triumphant return to the rap game. Teaming up with the LA-based rap group Coyote, along with rappers Ladies Love Guapo and Ricky Blanco, the trio has unleashed a fresh track accompanied by a music video that’s already causing ripples in the music industry. In an exclusive interview with TMZ Sports, Ladies Love Guapo offered an insider’s perspective on the collaboration’s origins. Shaq, ever the enthusiast for hardcore hip-hop, was eager to jump in as long as the music had a gritty edge to it. Guapo and the crew took this as their cue to craft a ‘90s-style hardcore hip-hop track, capturing the essence of the golden era of rap. The result was something that impressed Shaq immensely: “He got on it, did his thing, he spit like 32 bars. He went off!” Shaq’s commitment to maintaining a hardcore vibe was evident throughout the creative process, and “3 Lokos” is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting new chapter in his musical journey.
