Fabolous Teases Knicks-Themed ‘Spend Dat” Remix

F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S is back to incorporating current events into his freestyles. This time, he managed to incorporate OG Anunoby’s historic game-winner into a “Spend Dat” (Knicksmix).

Earlier this month, artist and content creator Lowkey Mar posted a video of him previewing a Knicks-themed flip he made of Yung Miami‘s viral “Spend Dat” (currently on No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbing) as the team was in the midst of a historic playoff run that culminated in their first championship in 53 years. Mar starts his version off by pointing out that the Knicks have a player “named Karl-Anthony Towns in ‘the towns’” and “Jalen BrunSON, come on, son,” and flipped Yung Miami’s chorus from “Spend dat sh–” to “Win dat chip.”

The post was shared and reposted by Knicks fans and eventually made its way to Brooklyn rapper Fabolous, who then posted a snippet of his verse on Saturday as the Knicks were getting ready to play Game 5 of the NBA Finals on the road in San Antonio.

Fab impressively incorporated the starting five in Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns with lines like, “OK, you know I got the towns on my back like KAT/ You know we keep that paper comin’ thru like fax/ We the ones like Jalen Brunson in that bag for them rings like we eating Funyuns/ Shorty you my heart like Josh, stop trippin’/ Bring that ass here and let an OG put the tip in.” He also managed to show love all five boroughs with bars like, “You know we f— with bridges like Brooklyn and Manhattan/ Third Ave to the BX/ Verrazano go to Staten/ Big Queens, Triboro/ We hit all five boroughs/ Big step through the city, it’s an NY euro.”

Let’s see if this version will ever make it on streaming in time for the Knicks championship parade this upcoming Thursday (June 18).
