Before ‘Space Jam 2’ won the box office showdown the weekend of its July 16 release, ‘We Win’ – the Lil Baby & Kirk Franklin-performed lead single from the ‘Space Jam 2’ soundtrack – was a victor on Billboard Gospel charts as it peaked at #1 on the listing.

In a bid to push its parent album toward similar success, the Baby and Franklin have teamed again – this time for the song’s official music video.

The half-animated, half-live visual follows the format of its parent film and features appearances from some of Looney Tunes’ most beloved characters as well as clips from the LeBron James-led children’s flick.
