# Rap-Inspired Gaming Apps This Drake Video Game Takes You Running Through the Six By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-04-12 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drake-video-game References: [caplex](http://ca.complex.com/music/2015/04/running-through-the-six-with-my-woes-iphone-game) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/id935185650?mt=8) This hilarious Drake video game app is a very literal interpretation of what is likely the most famous line from the Toronto rapper's most recent mixtape. The 'Runnin through the 6' gaming app is a [side-scrolling adventure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flappy-buddy) that takes the user through Toronto with Drake. The game features a tiny cartoon Drake running through Toronto and catching the '6' emoji for a fun bonus of 100 points. Designed by Nico Uribe, the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-app) app is available for free download in the iTunes store. The game also features plenty of [prayer hand emojis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedmoji), just like Drake's now infamous forearm tattoo, and a wheelchair emoji that renders the Drake cartoon back into his Degrassi character, which is a playful reference to a meme that popped up on disability signs around Toronto in 2014. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rap-inspired Gaming Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating more gaming apps that combine popular music and interactive gameplay. - **Side-scrolling Adventures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing side-scrolling games with unique and engaging storylines. - **Emojis in Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating emojis into gaming experiences for added fun and engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile App Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new ways to incorporate popular music and cultural references into mobile gaming. - **Music and Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating between the music and gaming industries to create immersive experiences. - **Interactive Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment by merging gaming and pop culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Engaging Rap Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rap-trivia.md) - [Rapper-Backed Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoops-high-rollers.md) - [Nostalgic Hidden App Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-this-playlist.md) - [Drag Culture Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-her-video-game.md) - [Mobile HIIT Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/run-legends.md) - [Strategic Running Gameplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battle-run.md) - [Hidden Social App Mini-Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minigame.md) - [Gaming Ads-Inspired Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/those-games.md) - [Album-Inspired Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-country-legacy.md)
