A Red Dead Rap Homage by the UK’s Akira the Don

Posted on March 11 2011, 7:09am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games, Music

We recently stumbled upon this great rap homage by the UK’s Akira the Don expounding and reflecting on his time spent in the shoes of John Marston.

We deeply appreciate the love, Mr. the Don – and as for missing Red Dead, we’d be remiss not to ask: Have you tried Undead Nightmare?

A class act!

    Thats amazing what a find. You guys must be proud of inspiring such art with your art. This does nail the vibe of the first time I rode out on the trail. Great job Akira and I do miss it when I am not playing it. I also can relate to seeing birds and seeing them fall down after a well placed shot.

                @dethsot How you are so sure that red dead redemption will come to pc.its been a year and they have not made even an announcement.there is a plenty of demand it.many people expected the pc version will be released or an announcement will be made in march for pc version release.but they have hugely dissapointed us.pc is a very large platform.i dont know why they abandoned us.Red dead redemption is a game that should compulsorily released on pc.there is such a demand for it.but the decision lies with the Rockstar.If they really listen to their consumers they must release the pc version of rdr.

                  You lost me when you used the words "great" and "rap" that close together.

                      Rockstar games is good company, that makes good games, one thing i dont like is that some games dont come for PC. Red dead redemption is kind of a game i've been waiting for a long time and i am not going to buy xbox or ps3 to play this game.

                          I'm sure it'll come to the PC eventually, though. There's plenty of demand for it, and Rockstar have a decent history of pc ports
