Former Super Bowl champion Jay Ajayi has traded in his cleats for a mic — officially entering the music game with a debut rap single this week — and he’s hoping the response to the tunes is so good, it’ll lead to a future collab with Travis Scott.

The ex-Philadelphia Eagles star first got into the booth full-time following his retirement from the NFL in 2022 — rapping under the pseudonym “Finesse” — and on Tuesday, he released his first single, “PEAK.”

The former running back tells TMZ Sports he’s taking the new career very seriously … with the goal of featuring “some trap, south side beats, heavy 808s, and just a lot of vibes” on his tracks.

“I like to take the listener on a journey when they listen to the music,” Finesse said. “It’s an experience.”

The London native — who made one Pro Bowl in his six-year NFL career — says he wants it to get so big that one day he could work with Scott — as they both share some ties to Texas. He also said he wouldn’t mind working in the future with Mike Dean, a producer and songwriter who’s collaborated with A-listers like Scott, Jay Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, The Weeknd and more.

Ajayi tells us a Grammy is not necessarily his goal — but rather he simply wants to establish a true connection with fans.

“The biggest validation of the music is people messin’ with the music, people listening to the music, people consuming the music,” Finesse said.

“For me … to sell a show out and have the whole stadium singing the music or jumpin’, that kinda feeling I think shows what you’re doing is connecting.”
