“Everybody knows, in the old days, that a show at KeyArena, was decided by a basketball game, so I invited my mentor to play me in a game of one on one,” the rapper says in the video.

Of course, that’s when Kemp appears, towering over Macklemore.

If Macklemore wins the game, he plays the concert. If Kemp wins, he gets Macklemore’s car.

The concert is Dec. 22 at KeyArena. Tickets go sale Wednesday at 10 a.m.
