Fans are used to seeing Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving drop defenders on the court with his ankle-breaking crossovers. Turns out, Uncle Drew can also spit some bars, as he teased some content from his never-before-heard mixtapes in an Instagram Live on Friday.

Irving dropped some of the verses of his self-recorded rap songs, much to the delight of his millions of followers.

“It's still a work in progress. I get hyped about it, but I still feel like as a writer, as an artist there's room to get better,” the Nets star said during his live stream.

Kyrie Irving's musical prowess is actually pretty impressive. His flow and lyricism were on point. One controversial verse, however, will surely earn the ire of Irving's detractors after he proclaimed that he “takes thrones.”
