The support for Filipino teen basketball sensation and NBA hopeful Kai Sotto continues. Rapper and court artist Mike Swift, who is also under Chooks-to-Go, refurbished a hardcourt in Brgy. Hugom Laiya in San Juan, Batangas by painting a mural as a gift to the 7-foot-2 phenom.

“Kai is our bunso (youngest) in Chooks-to-Go. Literally, we saw him grow up in front of our eyes,” shared Swift.

Swift and the Nippon Gang designed Sotto’s mural for three days, including some finishing accent touches of green, red, white, and black in the sides.

Swift also revealed that Sotto is a huge hip-hop fan especially Pinoy rap. Swift added that he is currently planning to do a rap song about Sotto’s journey from the PH to the US.

“Kai is a big battle rap fan as well, and I wanted to show him that we in the Pinoy hip-hop community support him all the way,” added Swift.
