Moise Kean Makes History: First Footballer-Rapper on EA Sports FC 26 Soundtrack
For most players, life outside football is a way to rest. For Fiorentina striker, it’s another stage to perform on. Moise Kean has been steadily building his alter ego as a rap musician KMB, and now his passion for music has reached a milestone few could have imagined: his track Bombay has been added to the official EA Sports FC 26 soundtrack. This makes Kean the first footballer ever to feature in the game’s iconic playlist.
Beyond the pitch, onto the playlist
Kean’s love for music is no side hustle. His track Bombay has already racked up more than half a million streams on Spotify, and soon it will be the soundtrack to millions of gamers kicking off around the globe. For the 23-time Italian international, it’s proof that his creative spark extends far beyond the stadium.
Outpacing musical teammates
Serie A is no stranger to musically inclined footballers, Napoli’s Noa Lang and Milan’s Rafael Leão have both released rap tracks of their own. Yet Kean has beaten them to the ultimate crossover, a spot in EAFC’s global soundtrack, a stage that blends culture, sport, and music in one.
Sharing space with global icons
Adding even more weight to the achievement, Kean’s name now appears alongside megastars like Ed Sheeran, Ipswich Town shareholder by day, chart-topping artist by night. It’s a surreal mix of worlds, but that’s exactly what makes EAFC’s soundtrack a cultural reference point every year.
Football, music, and identity
For Kean, music is more than a creative outlet, it’s a way to shape his life after football, even as his playing career thrives. His presence on EAFC 26’s soundtrack is a statement that today’s players are more than athletes, they’re multidimensional artists, storytellers, and trendsetters. EA Sports FC 26 drops at the end of September. And when players fire up the game, there’s a good chance KMB will be the first voice they hear, before Moise Kean even laces up his boots on-screen.
