Red Dead Redemption fan? Hello. Stop what you’re doing. Turn off Spotify right now, and listen to this song. It’s a tribute to Rockstar’s beautiful Western adventure game, and one quite like no other. Courtesy of British rapper and friend of Electricpig, Akira the Don.
Nestling in the Don’s latest mix tape, featuring a track (Speed of Life) produced by the legendary Brian Eno, is an absolutely stunning homage to Red Dead Redemption – not just the game itself, but sitting down on the couch and firing it up for the first time, then heading outdoors afterwards. Words can’t describe how precisely this sums up our experience wading through New Austin last year, and its effect on us once we eventually turned off our PS3.
Actually, words can: they just happen to be Akira the Don’s, so hit up track twelve below and listen. Then go and buy ATD 25, and pay Akira back for his stunning work.
