Clint Dempsey raps at FIFA 15 launch party

Dirty Tackle

MLS and EA Sports held a launch party for FIFA 15 in New York City and it featured a special performance from FIFA 15 cover star and hip hop enthusiast Clint Dempsey. We can only hope that this starts a trend that international cover boy Lionel Messi continues.

During the World Cup it was announced that Dempsey will soon release a full album with rapper XO called The Redux and this marked their first live performance, along with Trae Tha Truth, since the reveal. You can see Dempsey take the stage about 1:10 into the video above on a song called "Hot Fire."

And if that's not a large enough sample for you, here's the first single from The Redux entitled "It's Poppin'"...

Dempsey's FIFA 15 rating hasn't been made public yet, but after seeing this he should definitely be somewhere in the 90s for the flow category.
