The celebrity DJs just keep on coming.

Retired basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, or DJ Diesel as he calls himself, might not be slammin' on the court these days, but he's found a way of replicating that with a mix of hip hop and trap for TomorrowWorld.

The seven foot plus b-baller, who's DJ'd in Las Vegas twice before, drops in bits from Missy Elliott, 'CoCo' rapper O.T Genasis, Waka Flocka Flame and a remix of Nirvana's 'Entertain Us', giving us a taste of what's to come from his "trap" set at the Atlanta festival in September.

Shaq's no stranger to musical success, though. As well as being a four-time NBA champ and three-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player winner, he went platinum in the early 90s with the first of his four rap albums, 'Shaq Diesel'.

Check out his mixing skills below.
