DJ Kygo remixes 10-year-old rap song featuring Erling Haaland

DJ Kygo has given a decade-old rap song featuring a young Erling Haaland a new lease on life with a freshly released remix. The track, originally titled "Kygo Jo," was recorded by a then-15-year-old Haaland and his friends during their time with the Norwegian club Bryne FK. Performing under the moniker "Flow Kingz," the trio uploaded the music video to YouTube, where it has since garnered over 20 million views.

Yes, yes, yes or yes

Haaland, now a prominent football star, took on the refrain in the song, rapping in Norwegian. The lyrics included lines like, "People, can you please stop talking so much? Then it's no fun anymore. Better talk about the world crisis – I think that's much more important." Haaland himself once commented on the musical venture, stating, "We were a bit bored, so we decided to make a rap song."

Kygo, a well-known Norwegian DJ and music producer, recently reached out to Haaland via Instagram, asking if they should release the song. Haaland's enthusiastic reply, "Yes, yes, yes or yes," followed by nine exclamation marks, sealed the deal.

The DJ had previously pledged to release a remix if Haaland scored two goals in Norway's World Cup knockout match against Brazil. Haaland fulfilled this condition, scoring twice in Norway's 2-1 victory. True to his word, Kygo released the remix on his Instagram account, which boasts over 5.4 million followers.

It is time to make a remix out of it.
