Damn, it was fun while it lasted. Norway’s World Cup run was fantastic and the world has a new hero in Erling Haaland. One more thing before we let him go for the tournament.

When he was 16, Erling recorded a rap track with some friends in a group they called Flow Kingz. Norwegian DJ Kygo found the track, remixed it, and released it. It’s currently sitting at number one on Norway’s Top 50 chart.

Cuando tenía 16 años, Erling Haaland compuso un rap con sus amigos en un grupo que tenían, llamado Flow Kingz.

Pues el DJ noruego Kygo acaba de sacar el remix del rap de Haaland y ya es número 1 en el Top 50 Spotify de Noruega.

Es la canción del año.
