After already proving to be a man of many talents by successfully transitioning from a popular career in professional wrestling to
regularly topping the list of highest-paid actors in Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might be preparing us for a third act in his career — rapping!
The
Ballers star showed off his skills in the booth recently by dropping a verse for rap vet Tech N9ne in a new song called “Face Off,” and many people reacted to hearing The Rock rocking the mic.

The song, which appears on Tech’s freshly-released new album
ASIN9NE, marks the grand debut of Johnson as an emcee, and his bars are surprisingly just as strong as his iconic action figure physique suggests. Although he doesn’t try to keep up with the insanely-skilled fast flows of Tech N9ne or fellow featured artists Joey Cool and King Iso, it’s the energy in Dwayne’s delivery that makes him sound so authentic.

The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book lead single, aptly-titled “It Doesn’t Matter,” back in 2000. His contributions were limited to a simple “speaking role” on the groovy track, so we’re glad he finally decided to get lyrical after giving us a preview two decades ago.
