Jay-Z Meets M Bars
Brooklyn Downtown Star
Nik Kovac covers M Bars's (Michael Barnes) debut of the new Nets fight song:
Jay-Z picked Barnes' "Going Hard" out of over 700 choices to become the new theme song for the Nets.
Barnes really did his research for the song. The lyrics are full of shout outs to Nets players and owners.
...
After his live halftime performance, Barnes got to speak with the Marcy Projects-raised international superstar for a few minutes. "Jay-Z told me he really liked the way I brought in everybody," recalled Barnes of the conversation, "the way I mentioned Bruce."
