Boston Celtics veteran guard Marcus Smart has bars, it seems.
Roughly a year after releasing a track celebrating his new contract with the Celtics — using the nom de plume “52M” — with childhood friend Trey Davis, Smart has teamed up with his former AAU circuit companion to release “Quarantine Cap”, a song clearly inspired in part by the pandemic.
In this track, a bass-heavy mumble rap track with a catchy hook, the Flower Mound native is going by “Young Gamechanger”, a name Smart employs in a lot of other, more basketball-related contexts.
Davis has maintained close ties with Smart since his AAU days, the pair on the same Texas circuit.
He’s since played for the University of Massachusetts Minutemen and then several stops in the G League — most recently with the Maine Red Claws — while Smart’s grown his stature within the NBA.
Making music together has been an avenue to continue that bond, and has produced some pretty solid tunes for folks who spend most of their time working on an entirely different craft.
Check it out for yourself if the genre is your bag — be warned though, the lyrics are explicit — in the video below.
While the Texan guard and his longtime friend aren’t going to be the next Dead Prez, they’re definitely worth a listen. And if you missed Smart’s first track, click here to check it out as well.
