Shaq Drops Guest Feature on Coyotes ‘3 Lokos’ Track

Shaquille O’Neal has returned to the rap scene with a new song titled “3 Lokos” in collaboration with Los Angeles rap group Coyotes. Check it out below. 

The video, which was released on Friday, finds the 4-time NBA champion hanging out with group members Ladies Love Guapo and Ricky Blanco as they roam around Los Angeles riding lowriders, vibing with locals, and more. Shaq doesn’t only appear in the video as he takes over the song in the third verse with some impressive bars reminiscent of his Shaq Diesel days.

“They think I’m on the brink of my insanity / If he aint spitting like this for the money, then what can it be / Momma managed me, Papa was in the military / I come from The Bricks where the only option is just the cemetery / I get in the mix opposite of Ben & Jerry’s,” Shaq raps.

In an interview with TMZ, Ladies Love Guapo explained how Shaq got on the record. According to the rapper, the 51-year-old the beat and wasted no time sending his verse in a few hours later. 

“(Shaq) was like, as long as it’s some hardcore stuff, I’m down. So we made a hardcore hip hop’ 90s-type song, and we’re like, ‘Bro, let’s send it to Shaq,’ and he got on it, did his thing, he spit like 32 bars. He went off!,” said Guapo. “4 hours later, he FaceTimes us, and he shows us his verse, and he went crazy! He’s rapping better than 90 percent of rappers out there.”

The group also told TMZ that they have another song with Shaq already recorded and more new music coming soon. One of the songs features Coyotes rapping over a beat that the retired NBA star produced. 

Shaquille O’Neal released his debut album, Shaq Diesel, in 1993, which went platinum after selling 1 million copies in 1994. The album boasted guest appearances from Def Jef, Phife Dawg and Fu-Schnickens, while on the production side was Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Def Jef, Erick Sermon, K-Cut and Meech Wells.
