I\u2019m a work on the song in time as well.\u201d Blessed to partner with @TaylorGang \u2013 Bringing #Pittsburgh together, Thanks Will https:\/\/t.co\/4peItsMsPD \u2014 James O\u2019Connor (@jamesoconnor) July 19, 2019 One of Wiz\u2019s first big hits was \u2018Black and Yellow\u2019 which are the colors of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have the Knights under their wing. One of his dreams was to partner with the NFL team in some way and this gave him the option to do so while also doing what he loves. \u201cGrowing up thinking about this wasn\u2019t even imaginable,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are taking the Knights brand and esports to the next level.\u201d Currently, the Knights field a team in Smite, Paladins, PUBG, PUBG Mobile, Apex Legends, Madden, Super Smash Bros., and Gwent. The future looks bright for the organization if they\u2019re able to keep picking up big names like this. In the meantime, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what Wiz has in store for a potential theme song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
