If not, then you're in for a treat. British rapper and [gamer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-music) Dan Bull has been putting out [video game raps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dj-caras) for a little while now, including ones saluting titles like Dead Space 3 and other Assassin's Creed titles. In this case, he drops his thick British accent and goes for more a raspy pirate tone, which fits perfectly in the [Assassin's Creed IV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droga5s-wake-up) high seas aesthetic. You wouldn't think that a goofy novelty rap about a video game could be so catchy and absorbing, but alas, Dan Bull has the sick skills to pay the bills.
