What’s the Big Buzz about Sonic IDs?
For those scratching their heads and wondering what a Sonic ID is, let’s break it down. These are unique audio signifiers specifically tailored for each host city during the FIFA World Cup. Think of them as catchy musical jingles that will be woven into broadcasts, digital communications, and in-stadium announcements throughout this global extravaganza!
A Personal Connection to the Game
Tech N9ne, a legend in the Kansas City music scene, has been a soccer fan since his childhood days, thanks to his uncle who absolutely adored the soccer superstar Pele. When the opportunity to represent Kansas City on this global stage landed on his lap, his excitement was off the charts!
In early August, Tech N9ne and his partner, Travis O’Guin, jumped at the chance to collaborate with FIFA. They got to work on the Sonic ID, using a base track provided by FIFA to kick things off. Tech and producer Hu$h rolled up their sleeves to add their unique touch to enhance the sound. Talk about pride in our city!
Lyrics to Make the Heart Sing
Here’s the twist: Tech N9ne’s Sonic ID will be distinct among the 16 host cities because it will include lyrics! Most Sonic IDs are purely instrumental, but not this one. His creativity flowed as he penned the lyrics the same night he received the revised track. The catchy phrase, “KC, baby,” resonates strongly, especially with fans buzzing for the success of the Kansas City Current soccer team.

Looking Ahead
As the FIFA World Cup approaches, the Kansas City Sonic ID is set to serve as an anthem inspiring unity and community spirit.
