Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson made his rap debut on Tech N9ne’s new single, “Face Off”.
The 49-year-old former wrestler appears on Tech N9ne’s new single, “Face Off”, after the rapper - who he first met on the set of “Ballers” - reached out to ask for the collaboration.
He told Variety: "I love music. Anytime in my movies when I can implement some musical elements, I always love doing that."
Tech N9ne added: "The biggest star in the world said something back to me! Do you know what I’m saying? I am hyped. We are all hyped!”
Dwayne admitted other rapper friends have asked him to appear on their songs but he has always refused until now.
He said: "A lot of my friends who are hip hop artists - like big names - I’ve been asked a few times. But it just has to feel right.
"When Tech texted me, I knew I would make this work. We’re aligned, just in terms of our work ethic and desire.
“When Tech and I first met years ago on the set of ‘Ballers,’ we were talking about this idea about being the hardest worker in the room.
“He said something that I appreciated: basically, ‘There could never be enough food in this room or on this set that could make me full because I always want to be hungry.’ I just love that."
Tech added: "he is an energy song. This is going to get people pumped up to lift weights, pumped up for fights, pumped up for the game. Period. And what better person? Not Conor McGregor. I don’t know him. I know The Rock.”
