DJ Premier and Royce da 5'9" Laced 'NBA Countdown' With a Dope New Theme Song

There's a new theme for the ESPN program NBA Countdown featuring a fresh preview of a new track from PRhyme partners Royce da 5'9" and DJ Premier. Titled "Rockin' With the Best," the song ran for the first time on Friday night (Jan. 8). "The title describes us and it describes the competition that goes along with basketball," Premo told ESPN. "It’s the attitude that you need, so we wanted this track to carry that vision."

Royce added that the look from ESPN is a big deal for him, and that's saying something considering his success over the years. "Being recognized for our talents and having the opportunity to work with ESPN and the NBA is next level," he told the sport network. "You forget the magnitude of your work until your father calls you and says he just heard you on ESPN; that’s when it really hits you!"
