ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!!
I had the honor and pleasure of teaming up with legendary composer Grant Kirkhope to reimagine DK Rap on his new LP, Rare Treats: DONKEY KONG 64 Revisited.
“Donkey Kong 64 turns 25 on November 22, and Screen Rant is happy to share a way to celebrate, courtesy of game composer Grant Kirkhope and Materia Collective. On November 22, Kirkhope will release Rare Treats: DONKEY KONG 64 Revisited, a new version of the game’s soundtrack re-arranged and revisited by its original composer. The album will feature 18 tracks and will be available to stream and for purchase on CD and vinyl.
Screen Rant is thrilled to debut Kirkhope’s reimagining of the infamous “DK Rap”, this time featuring Washington DC-area-based rapper Substantial. The “DK Rap” received a harsh response when it first appeared in Donkey Kong 64, but has finally found a place in the hearts of listeners—and in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Take a listen to Kirkhope’s new take on the piece, below, and get ready to check out the full album on November 22.”
