Kyrie references Kobe, Gianna Bryant on new rap track
Kyrie Irving is getting into the rap game.
The Brooklyn Nets star shared a clip of an unreleased track on his Instagram story Sunday that includes a reference to the late Kobe and Gianna Bryant.
"Similar to my progress, I'm on a team full of martyrs. Paradise is Mamba, throwing peace to Gianna," Irving raps on the song.

Sources tell me: “He’s actually gotten better the more and more he’s been in the studio. But music as a hobby is therapeutic for him.”

Irving's friend Jeremiah Green, a New Jersey-based artist and music producer, produced the track, reports Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson of Heavy.
Irving has dabbled in music before, lending vocals to the song "Ridiculous" off the soundtrack for his 2018 film "Uncle Drew."
