It’s been thirty years since Deion Sanders stepped to the mic to create “Must Be the Money” – an iconic moment in sports entertainment history. Now known as “Coach Prime,” Sanders has a new verse on a song by artist Yella Beezy that is being floated as “Must Be The Money PT. 2.” Sanders used his verse to talk about multiple things: How good God has been to him. How he’s used to the fame since his playing days. He also alluded to his time in HBCU football as the head coach of Jackson State with his final bar.
“The weight of the people weigh heavy on my shoulder,” Sanders sang. “Gave ‘The Sip the blueprint and took the family to Boulder.”
That last bar appears to be a reference to the idea that Deion Sanders gave his former HBCU Jackson State the blueprint to success before leaving for Colorado and taking his sons – Shilo and Sheduer – with him, as well as his daughter Shelomi.
Deion Sanders has often shown his love for music – be it by making his own or aligning himself with rap stars like Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, and others. And the music gene was passed down to his children as well. Deion Sanders Jr. has been releasing rap songs for years, even as he built his media brand. More recently Shedeur Sanders has begun to dabble in rapping as well, releasing a song called “Perfect Timing.”
