"Ballin" is a song by American rapper Juicy J featuring fellow American rapper Kanye West. It was released as a single on September 28, 2016, intended for his fourth album Rubba Band Business, however it was later cleared as a non-album single. The song was produced by TM88, Cubeatz and Crazy Mike, with writing handled by the trio alongside its performers, as well as co-writing by LunchMoney Lewis and Strick.[2]

## Background

[edit]

On September 23, 2016, five days belong the single was released, Juicy announced via Twitter that a viewing party would be available on TIDAL, which was streamed two days before its release.[3] The track was supposed to be part of Juicy's fourth studio album Rubba Band Business, but didn't end up on the tracklist when the album was released in December 2017.[4]

## Composition

[edit]

For both the intro and outro of "Ballin", a sample of "I'm Not Gonna Give Up" by Eddie Holman is used.[5] West's feature is minimal, since he only sings the chorus and Juicy J raps all of the verses.[6]

## Music video

[edit]

On September 29, 2016, one day after the song's release, the official music video for it was released.[7] The video features both rappers performing the song in a warehouse.[8]
