The world of rap and football collide once again with Tiakola’s spectacular entry into the video game EA FC 25. His track ‘Formidable’, from his upcoming mixtape ‘BDLM vol.1’, has just been selected to appear in the game’s playlist, promising global visibility for the young artist.
This integration into EA FC 25 is a unique opportunity for Tiakola, who could follow in the footsteps of other French rappers who have benefited from this platform to become known on a global scale. With the simultaneous release of his mixtape and the game on September 20, the artist seems to have perfectly aligned the stars to make this period a key moment in his career.
EA Sports games, and especially their soundtracks, are known for their ability to make artists shine internationally. ‘Formidable’ is sure to be heard by millions of players, significantly expanding Tiakola’s audience.
The mixtape ‘BDLM vol.1’ is also highly anticipated, with its 17 tracks and collaborations with rap figures such as Niska, Hamza and SDM. Since leaving the Wati-B label and signing with Warner Music, Tiakola has sought to express his creative freedom and assert his musical style. This new project seems to be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his artistic evolution.
The year 2024 could well be the year of consecration for Tiakola. Between his departure from the group 4Keus, his engagement with Warner Music and now the international exposure thanks to EA FC 25, the artist is on an upward trajectory that propels him to the forefront of the French rap scene. The presence of ‘Formidable’ in the video game is a recognition of his talent that crosses borders and that could well change the course of his career.
