Major Lazer and Jack U are only a couple of Diplo’s plans to change the world. Another pipe dream of his involves an observation that he’s made in his travels; soccer games. In a move that may seem like it’s come out of left field, the producer has bought part of the Arizona United Soccer team. How he will be involved is yet to be seen, but we can’t say our interest isn’t peaked.
“I’ve been really fortunate to travel all over the world and experience different cultures through music. Wherever I am, Jamaica, Spain, England, China, etc., soccer is a social constant. I wanted to figure out a way to get involved with the game and team sports so when Arizona United presented itself, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. I see soccer the same way I see music, as a connective tissue linking the world’s cultures.”
Stay tuned for more details.
