Tech N9ne’s World Cup Sonic ID drops with nod to KC Current, Red Kingdom
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The 2026 FIFA World Cup comes to Kansas City in just over a year, and each host city was tasked with a music theme to be used as a build-up to the global event.
So who better than Tech N9ne to come up with Kansas City’s Sonic ID? The rapper released the city’s official remix on Tuesday morning, and it includes a pair of familiar phrases for Kansas sports fans.
“Kansas City!” to the rhythm of the popular Red Kingdom anthem and “KC Baby!” the chant of the Kansas City Current are prominently featured in the new music release.
“I was so honored to be the one who KC2026 called on to do the Kansas City remix,” said Aaron Yates, who performs as Tech N9ne. “The message I’d like for people to take away from this Sonic ID is that togetherness is power, and with that, we can work our way to victory.”
