LiAngelo Ball’s “Tweaker” Will Have You Bent and Swerving
The basketball player-turned-rapper’s new single is less embarrassing than you might expect.
I wonder what driving in a car with LiAngelo Ball must be like. Traveling anywhere with any member of the infamously shameless Ball family—which includes his two pro-ball-player brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo, and their livewire father, Lavar—is bound to be an adventure. But the way LiAngelo croons about it on the hook of his single “Tweaker,” released under the name G3, all I can picture is him screaming while doing donuts in a liquor-store parking lot. “I might swerve, bend that corner, whooooo-whoa!” the California rapper (and former NBA G Leaguer and Facebook reality show star) says in an accent that somehow channels Louisiana, Ohio, and Missouri. It’s the first inexplicable—and undeniable—meme-rap hit of the year.
