One of only 100 songs worldwide to appear in the most recent football video game is Piers James’ brand-new single Showbiz.
Being included on the soundtrack of Fifa 23 was described as an “amazing feat” by one of the UK’s up-and-coming hip-hop musicians.
The Ipswich-born rapper expressed his “gratefulness” for having his music featured.
Electronic Arts (EA), a publisher of video games, claimed that the new game’s music, which was also its final Fifa release, was the “most worldwide soundtrack ever.”
Gorillaz, Jack Harlow, Bad Bunny/Bomba Estéreo, Flume with Caroline Polachek, and Gorillaz are other musicians on the playlist.
James, now living in London, described being featured as an “accomplishment” and a “testament” to the effort he had put in.
He told BBC Radio Suffolk, “It’s a remarkable success for somebody from Ipswich who believed in themselves and practiced and perfected their craft.”
The performer, who GQ magazine has dubbed as Britain’s hottest upcoming hip-hop artist, was selected by Ed Sheeran to begin one of his 2019 homecoming concerts in Ipswich’s Chantry Park, which can hold 45,000 people.
“The ultimate celebration of diversity, exploration, and the best new music and artists in the world,” according to EA, was provided via the soundtrack.
It claimed to represent musicians from 34 nations, including artists from Malaysia, Lithuania, Sierra Leone, and Malta for the first time.
Since creating the first FIFA video game in 1993, EA Sports has been in charge of the franchise.
The games will be released starting in 2023 under the new name EA Sports FC.
