Naughty By Nature Talk Ballin' By Nature, Knicks Finals Energy & Hip Hop Legacy

Naughty By Nature plus Ballin' By Nature co-founder Marcus Toniel sits down with DJ Drewski on Hot 97. They break down Ballin' By Nature, the free youth basketball league launched out of East Orange, NJ at the Oval Park courts that were renamed in Naughty By Nature's honor. The crew talks about year two of the league, Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit sponsoring the girls division, and why they're expanding into flag football, soccer, and more. Plus: the state of hip hop mentorship, why artists need to build legacy beyond music, the Naughty By Nature brand universe (Naughty Gear, Illtown Sluggers, Nourished by Nature, Stoned by Nature), and where Treach fits into a potential full reunion. And of course — Knicks Finals talk with the man directing replays on the Garden jumbotron. 🏀 Ballin' By Nature Kickoff Event: June 20th, 9AM — Oval Park, East Orange, NJ (FREE, no tickets needed) 🏀 League Season: July 7th – August 16th (Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays) 🌐 Website: ballinbynatureeo.com 📸 Instagram: @ballinbynatureeo 📧 Sponsorships: [email protected] SUBSCRIBE: https://hot97.nyc/subscribe GET MORE: https://hot97.nyc/getmore #HOT97 #drewski #djdrewski #naughtybynature
