Trae Young Drops “Where I Stay” Featuring Quavo and 2 Chainz

Trae Young, who plays for the Atlanta Hawks, is stepping into the spotlight as both an NBA All-Star and a musician. After teasing fans about a possible music project over the summer, Young officially released his latest single, ‘Where I Stay’, on Saturday. Two of Georgia’s biggest hip-hop icons, Quavo and 2 Chainz, appear on the track, which is now available to stream on YouTube.

Young’s artistic growth, which extends beyond basketball, is showcased in this song, featuring a seamless blend of confidence and authenticity. Switching Stages, a new video series from The Players’ Tribune, introduced fans to his creative collaboration. Young and Quavo are present in the studio for the premiere episode, with the former Migos frontman providing the Hawks guard with a crash course in rapping and songwriting.

The lyrics of ‘Where I Stay’ appear to carry more weight than a typical debut track. The standout line — ‘A-T-L-A-N-T-A-G-A is where I stay’ — has fueled speculation that Young is subtly addressing his current situation with the Hawks. The final guaranteed year of his contract has led to heated discussions among fans and analysts about his long-term future in Atlanta. Despite the uncertainty, the guard, 27, is still upbeat and optimistic about the team’s direction. According to Young, the contract discussions have not disappointed him, and he has praised the organization for making significant offseason moves.

The Hawks have added several notable players, including Kristaps Porziņģis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Luke Kennard, positioning them to compete in the Eastern Conference. Young’s musical debut has received a lot of attention, but his attention remains solely on basketball. As Atlanta gets ready for another playoff push, the two-time All-Star is still emphasizing leadership and chemistry as the Hawks gear up to kick off their season at home against the Toronto Raptors on October 22.

Fans will be able to witness a star balancing two passions — one on the hardwood and one in the recording booth. Trae Young is demonstrating that he can excel on either field or court by dropping dimes or hitting shots.
