Just like details of who the cover star is leaked, it appears the official Madden 21 soundtrack has also leaked. As of Tuesday, a tracklist was circulating online giving a preview of the various songs coming for the new EA Sports game. Among the artists who appear they’ll be part of it are Travis Scott, NBA Youngboy, Migos, Big Sean, and Lil Wayne.
Madden 21 soundtrack leaked online
Based on the leaked tracklist, the new Madden 21 soundtrack has 21 total songs and as with Madden 20, is hip-hop heavy. Based on what’s circulating out there, the Madden cover star Lamar Jackson picked out the songs for the soundtrack. Those include Lil Wayne’s Ball Hard featuring Lil Twist, Big Sean’s Overtime, and Future’s Life is Good featuring Drake.
Viral sensation Duke Deuce is represented according to the leak with his song Crunk Ain’t Dead. The video has racked up over 18 million views on YouTube in six months.
Several artists on the leak appear multiple times including Travis Scott, Kodak Black, and Gunna. The rumored tracklist (below) also includes multiple artists who appear in other sports video game soundtracks.
One example is Jack Harlow as his song Ghost is on MLB The Show 20. Travis Scott was a feature on the past few NBA 2K soundtracks as his popularity and collaborations run deep in hip-hop these days. Lil Yachty actually appeared as a character in the Madden 20 Superstar KO mode.
What appears to be a major difference with the new soundtrack compared to Madden 20’s playlist is the use of all-new music. Madden 20 featured several all-new songs recorded for the game’s soundtrack for the first-time ever. That included tracks by Joey Bada$$, Sage the Gemini, Jay Park, and Snoop Dogg’s Madden theme.
The late Smoke Purp and XXXTentacion also appear on the new Madden 21 soundtrack, based on the leak. As of right now, the soundtrack is unconfirmed by EA. While there are plenty of “fire” emojis and positive reactions going around Twitter about the leak, some believe this is a fake.

What do we know about the new game so far?
The cover star was leaked as Lamar Jackson weeks ago. LJ8 was confirmed when EA revealed the official covers last week with the game’s reveal trailer (below). He’ll appear on all three editions of the game. Those are the Standard, Deluxe, and MVP Edition.
Madden 21 will be available for play at first on the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One, Windows PCs (via Origin), and Steam. There’s a 10 percent off deal being advertised on the Madden 20 game for anyone who wants to pre-order the new game.
The official release date is August 28, 2020, but anyone who pre-orders either of the two higher-end editions can play three days earlier. All of the pre-order details are available here at EA’s Madden site.
The game is coming to both the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles. Gamers who purchase Madden 21 on PlayStation 4 and/or Xbox One ahead of the release of Madden 22 can get the free game upgrade for the new console.
Otherwise, the deeper dive looks at Madden 21 will begin to roll out on the official Twitch channel. The first of these will take place on Thursday, June 25 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time featuring Clint Oldenburg and Agent K.
