Ahead of the tip-off of Game 1 of the NBA Finals from Oklahoma City on Thursday (June 5), ESPN used a previously unheard Lil Wayne collaboration with U2’s Bono, “The Days,” in a promotional clip for the series. The track is featured on Wayne’s highly-anticipated new album, Tha Carter VI, which dropped at midnight on Friday (June 6). “Basketball’s been in my blood since day one, so to team up with ESPN less than 24 hours before the drop of Tha Carter VI for the NBA Finals is an incredible honor,” Wayne said in a statement. “My music and the NBA are vibin’ on the same frequency because it’s perfect timing for fans to hear Tha Carter VI on the game’s grandest stage.” Weezy is celebrating the release of his new project with a record release show at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden on Friday, which kicks off Tha Carter VI Tour, which will take the 5-time Grammy winner across North America this summer and fall.
