Weckingball Says He Will Be Releasing Some Rap Music Soon
Weckingball’s Instagram account is legendary at this point. What started out as a troll on the skateboard industry seems to be going in a mainstream direction as evidenced by his new interview with the No Jumper podcast. While skaters are no strangers to the show, Adam22 has also sat down with some of hip hop’s biggest names. That latter scored No Jumper a label deal as a subsidiary of Atlantic Records last March.
Could Weck be Adam22’s latest discovery? He mentions that he’ll be releasing some rap music soon at the 1:04:29 mark of the interview.
I want to talk about me rapping. It’s always been a thing between friends. Just freestyle and shit. But now, I’m trying to really put my shit together and construct it to display with my man Teddy Becks. [We’ve recorded] a pretty good amount of tracks. I don’t know how many of them I’m going to put out. It might just start with one single.
Complete with chainmail and wraparound shades, Weckingball’s No Jumper interview is something that you have to see to believe. Watch it for yourself above.

Nyjah Huston has only good things to say about his rivals for the 2022 SOTY.
In the ONSTIX Episode 108 streamed on Thrasher’s Twitch channel, Nyjah described the 2022 SOTY Tyshawn Jones as the “King of Pops” for “skating over anything and everything possible.”
He also said that Louie Lopez is just straight-up creative and had a good chance of getting SOTY for many years now.
He also commended TFunk’s latest video part.
Nyjah said in the interview that he watches almost every video that Thrasher posts, even those names he hadn’t heard of.
I love watching everyone’s skating because everyone skates differently and that’s what beautiful about what we do.
