Subban celebrated on Montreal rapper Wasiu's latest track

P.K. Subban now has a rap song with his namesake.

Montreal rapper Wasiu is leading the promotion of his new mixtape with a song entitled "P.K. Subban," which extols the Canadiens blue-liner for being a star athlete, philanthropist, and an empowering figure in the local black community.

Wasiu explained his vision in an essay for Fader, writing that he hopes Subban will further establish his place as one of, if not, the face of their city with the help of the song.

"People are going to have to accept that the face of a white, French city is a black man - whether they like it or not."
