Hi everyone. I think this may be the longest I've gone without uploading since I even started YouTubeing. it's been a long time anyway and this week i realised I think I am experiencing that timeless classic: burnout. I didn't think burnout was something that would happen to me as I always loved what I do. But doing it again ...

I tried something a little different here. I decided to put a lot more focus on the melodic and sonic properties of the song rather than the rap. You'll even notice the two rap verses are the same, and the choruses are all unique - the opposite of a normal song structure!
Anyway. Cyberpunk hype. Here's some more.

I teamed up with the mightly Element Animation (who animated my Creeper and Enderman rap songs) to bring the latest edition to the Minecraft mob rap canon - the ZOMBIE RAP!
I tried to go with a more spaced out and quiet flow for this song. At least... for parts of it :P
How are you all by the way. I'm sorta lonely with lockdown and that. Although I have a cool new housemate who also makes nerdy raps!

The Mandalorian is the best Star Wars movie since the 80s and it's not even a Star Wars movie. I just love it, it takes the series back to its roots in the gritty outskirts of the galaxy.
I teamed up with Divide Music to make this shmexy track featuring some crazy flow ideas I came up with. Enjoy!

I made another Among Us song - this time teaming up with my old buddy Bonecage. The illustrations are by a cool artist called Grimmstein. This is a tale of injustice and mob mentality...
I teamed up once again with my arch nemesis The Stupendium to make this song about Among Us. We were late to the trend, as per usual but I hope it was worth it for the quality of the visuals (mostly thanks to Stupes)

Hello! Patreon wasn't working properly this week so I've had to post this later than usual. Here's my new song about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I guess you could add this to the "Soulsborne" canon of songs, if that's the sort of thing you like to do. And if it is, you'll be happy to know I'm also working on a song about Dark ...

This is a song I wrote earlier this year, initially I wanted it to come out at the same time as Minecraft Dungeons but hey I seem to be really bad at making things come out at the same time as things THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Anyway, this is a fun little pantomimey Minecraft rap, which are always fun to make and apparently t...

That's a title isn't it?
My very wonderful and strange and talented friend Bonecage and I have made a song all about people called Richard, and that's definitely all it's about.

Here's the video I was talking about in my last post! Had to do some last-minute wrangling to get the patron credits in place but we managed it!
I'm really happy with the style and tone of how this video came out and I want to say a huge thanks to 2K Games for hiring me to make it!

This isn't a new song, but I wanted to make a new version of my No Man's Sky music video as the game has changed so drastically since launch. I've added a nice shiny patron credits section in too!
Also, I'm currently working on a sponsored video with a big games company, and due to the complications of working with corp...

It's been a super busy few weeks for me as my son started school and I have a lodger moving in so music has not always taken top priority. Although I wish it could!
Anyway... we've done something a little different with the patron credits this time around. Have a look for yourself!

If there is one game that inspired and influenced me from a very (inappropriately) young age - it's the original Grand Theft Auto. I've finally got the opportunity to make a song dedicated to it. I was joined by NemRaps for this who I think did a damn awesome job!
This is a project I started working on last year, in fact all the lyrics were finished over a year ago, but I feel like they're so relevant now - my city just got locked down again, just as I was getting used to the idea of reverting to some kind of normality. Just keep telling ourselves: one day we'll be OK.
I trudge boldly forward on my frankly ill-advised pledge to make a song for every single Overwatch hero. But as I do so - I know that I have the support of my loyal Patreon family to pick me up when I fall.
It's Bastion.
My videomancer Nick suggested I do a super quick song joining in the roasting of Tim The Tatman for being the worst Fall Guys player in the world, and finally celebrating his first crown.
Here it is!
This is a song I've been working on for ages, that was actually planned to be part of my next "proper" album - ie not about a specific video game. It's about my fear of flying and how I'm gradually overcoming it with each journey I take.
However, when I saw how beautiful Flight Simulator 2020 looks and the gorgeous trai...

Hello hello hello! I'm so happy to have relaunched my Patreon in a more simple form and with a monthly payment system instead of you having to pay per video. I feel a lot more free now to experiment and know that not every video has to be a big crowd pleaser. And that is what Patreon is all about, right?
I want to give ...

I've decided to reboot my Patreon and start from scratch.
I have a bad track record with Patreon. When I first joined, I made way too many goals which I couldn't stick to. Even after simplifying them later, I'm not providing the quality of extra content you deserve. Not to mention that the internet ...

It's felt really good getting back inot the swing of rapid, reactive content instead of trudging through production hell for ages and losing the creative momentum of why I was making the stuff in the first place.
I'm happy to say I wrote this song, recorded it, and mixed it, all in the space of a day - whilst also looki...

I've finally finished my Assassin's Creed rap series! For now at least... This one is about the most underrated protagonist from the franchise, Aveline de Grandpré .
I actually wrote this song ages ago and was looking for a collaborator who would suit the role of Aveline. Unfortunately those discussions fell thro...

Six years ago I was doing a merch signing at Comic Con in London. A guy in a pink suit came up to me and said "thank you for inspiring me".
He was referring to the fact I inspired him to start writing nerdcore raps - specifically a Minecraft vs Lego rap battle, although he never finished it until now.

I don't think it'll be the most popular Overwatch song I've made - however this is certainly one of my favourites and was super fun to make. I like low-tempo bouncy raps where I can experiment with coming timing and punchlines and, for want of a better word... swagger.
Maybe I'll make a whole album in this st...

In my aim to try and get back to the good old days of making songs with a tight turnaround instead of dragging on in production hell for months, I saw that Mount & Blade II was trending and a bunch of people were playing it on Twitch - well, the Mount & Blade franchise is one that fans had been requesting for years an...

I really miss the days when I had far fewer responsibilities in life and i could stay up all night making super fast reactive music videos on trending topics before anyone else could. Well... somehow, I STILL MANAGED to do one! I was so excited about the new Assassin's Creed, so here we are. TO VALHALLA!

I have a dirty secret and it's that I've always hated this game, and felt completely alienated any time I'm at a social event and everyone wants to play Smash. Ughhh.

This one was delayed significantly due to some irritating auto copyright claim stuff that hit the video. Honestly that kind of stuff really drains the fun out of creating stuff for YouTube, but I'm still here and still going - can't imagine stopping!

Every so often I like to make a track of mammoth proportions to do justice to the subject at hand. Half-Life 2 is one of those subjects. here is a 7 minute long epic that recounts the entire plot of Half-Life 2. Wowsers!

For years I had been thinking of a way to do a Doom rap song... I didn't want to just go full on metal and angry lyrics because I don't think I could do justice to the absolute carnal carnage of Doom.
Then I noticed very astutely that "Doom" happens to rhyme with "Boom" and, well the rest is history
