FC Barcelona Star Jules Kounde Reveals His Favorite Rap Anthems on the Latest Edition of Barça Matchday

February 20, 2025

Ever since Spotify and FC Barcelona forged a first-of-its kind partnership three years ago, we’ve worked to bring the worlds of music and sport together through special El Clásico shirts, preseason tours, and in-stadium artist spotlights. That includes the Barça Matchday playlists, which offer a glimpse into the sounds that motivate and inspire stars from the men’s and women’s teams as they get ready to step on the pitch. 

Now, Jules Kounde is taking the aux for the latest edition of Barça Matchday on Spotify. Kounde’s playlist takes fans on a world tour of hip-hop—from New York’s JAY-Z to Paris’ Dinos to Manchester’s Nemzzz and LA’s Kendrick Lamar—with some chilled-out R&B mixed in for good measure. (JSYK: Kounde is also a certified Kendrick superfan, with his 2024 Wrapped revealing him to be in the top 1% of K.Dot listeners worldwide.)  

“Music is a huge passion of mine and my Matchday playlist on Spotify is an example of what I listen to when I need to motivate myself and to chill,” Kounde said. “I love hip-hop from around the world and I think my playlist shows it!”

Fans can find the playlist on the FC Barcelona official Spotify page, or by searching “Barça Matchday By Kounde.” In addition, the Barça Spotify page features matchday playlists from the likes of Pedri, Alexia Putellas, Aitana Bonmati, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha. Additional FC Barcelona content is also available on our dedicated For the Record hub.
