So do we have a series? Or did the Heat just delay a Lakers coronation for a few extra evenings? After a poor performance by LA and Jimmy Butler having the game of his life, Miami has managed to make the NBA Finals a lot closer, and maybe slightly more intriguing, than just about everybody […]
Cue ominous basslines and knife sound effects. 21 Savage and Metro Boomin are back with Savage Mode II. Following the success of 2016’s Savage Mode and 2017’s Without Warning, the duo have returned with yet another collaborative project.
