We're So Close To Home... | GROUNDED SONG

Occasionally a song comes out sounding exactly how I wanted it to in my head. Or even better. This is one of those rare occasions!

I made this song "So Close To Home" for a promotional video for the game Grounded, it's funny that people hate the idea of artists selling out because they think it tarsnishes their integrity but actually for me, some of my best work is done under restrictions and deadlines because it forces me to get stuff done rather than procrastinating and dreaming about...

BAPTISTE IN FIRE | Overwatch Rap Song

I haven't posted about this publicly yet but I will tell you guys: I got a pretty gnarly injury the other week, and therefore I have not been up to making much content. It also seems the waiting list for surgery to correct this issue is hella long and I'm not happy about it. Not happy at all.

Luckily I had this song sitting in the wings for now so at least that's something. But I know I haven't been providing much content and I may have to slow down my productivity for a while. I'm sorr...

LifeAfter Rap | "Here We Are After 3 Years" | Dan Bull

Thanks to you patrons I've been aking some time out to work on longer term passion projects. Not much detail on those yet but some key words to give you a hint include "study and relax", "Hello there" and "Oh bother". Do with that what you will.

Meanwhile, here's another action packed video game rap I made in partnership with NetEase to promote their game LifeAfter. I like wind machines.

"A World Reborn" | HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST SONG

I was worried when making this song - it wasn't coming out how I'd pictured in my mind... but I went back in and put in a bunch of work into the mix, adding plenty of little intricate details, female vocal samples etc, and I think it's actually a really strong song now. I think. Let me know!

Rainbow Six Extraction Rap | "Extraction"

My first Rainbow Six song contained one of my favourite choruses I've ever done, so I decided to rework it for the sequel. Which one do you think is better?

OVERWATCH ZENYATTA RAP... Look at his orbs!

I think this is one of the grooviest, catchiest choruses I've ever written. That was accidental, of course.

The Man With The Hand Instead Of A Gun... | EVIL GENIUS 2 SONG

I got to live my dream of being an international super spy for my new brand collaboration with Evil Genius 2. We also cemented the combined cinematic universe with The Stupendium just a little more :)

DADDY ISSUES! | Hades Rap Song

Every so often I like to heavy things up musically and Hades seemed like a great opportunity for me to have done did that and so therefore that is what I have done diddened.

I'm now working on a very very fun sponsored video harking back to the classic era of "such films as" James Bond. Filmed that this week in a very very cold studio and a cheap nylon dress shirt, so I hope you will appreciate the chafeage incurred upon my nipples. 

"Ashe Like That" | Overwatch Rap

I am still chugging along stubbornly towards my goal of having a song for every Overwatch hero. I like this one, it's groooooooooovy!

CREEPER RAP REMIX | 🎵 Animated Minecraft Music Video🎵 | ENDING A | Dan Bull & oo oxygen

Perhaps my most popular song of all time - can you believe it came out in 2014. High time for a bit of spit and polish! I teamed up with oo oxygen and Element Animation to put together this shiny new remix of the song, whose official title is "Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom".

ENJOOOOOY! (I may be over-caffeinated right now)

Rap battle vs Frosty and Santa

Hah, imagine if only a week ago I'd apologised for missing the Patreon credits off the end of a video because I was in a hurry to publish the Friday Night Funkin' video on a Frday night. Ha, imagine if that exact same scenario happened again the following Friday. That would be wild wouldn't it? That would be just... wow

WHY AM I LIKE THIS?

ALSO MERRY CHRISTMAS

My most motivational rap? | AIM HIGHER | Aim Lab x Dan Bull

A few months ago I saw a tweet from Aim Lab asking if there were any rappers who could make a track about Aim Lab. Naturally, I replied... the result is I got hired by them to make this, and I'm super happy with the result!

And this time, I remembered to include your names in the credits. Sorry again about the last upload x

Boyfriend vs Dan Bull | Friday Night Funkin' Battle

THIS is an entirely new type of video for my channel. It's actually a playable mod for the rhythmgame Friday Night Funkin', with me as the antagonist!

This was great fun to work on and I want to say a big thanks to the producer/writer oo oxygen and the animator/coder HOTMINUTE Studios for pulling it all together.

My dear patrons, in my haste to try and get this video published on an actual Friday Night, before the Chrismas holidays, I'm afraid I forgot to add the Patreon credits t...

MINECRAFT CHRISTMAS RAP | "The Ballad of Bob The Snow Golem" | Dan Bull Animated Music Video Remix

I had this idea ages ago, that I could make a full animated music video, using an existing completed animation, by narrating the original video with rap lyrics. I'd done similar with the Arch-Illager trailer, and ever since I saw Element Animation's Bob the Snow Golem animation, I knew I wanted to try it with that too.

Well, here is the result! I imported a cool festive instrumental by Anywaywell into my video software and lined it up next to the original animation. As closely as I coul...

PHASMOPHOBIA RAP | "The Hunter Becomes The Haunted" | DK & Dan Bull

Just a quick one this week while I'm cooking up some super super special stuff.

This video is really DK's baby, he's a rapper I don't think I've actually worked with before except maybe on some cyphers. 

He told me he really wants to get into the nerdcore scene and I think this is a great start. Go and show him some love: https://twitter.com/DKRapArtist

BRITISH TEETH (Official Video) | Dan Bull

OK so this album is like 5 years old now but I always wanted to make a video for this song and now I have made a video for this song. That's your update, I hope you're happy

Viva la revolución! ✊ Far Cry 6 Rap

I struggle with writing choruses. I always have. Sometimes though when I'm writing, a chorus just presents itself to me, fully formed, in my head and I effortlessly throw it down onto the track... this was one of those! Why? I don't know. But I hope you'll agree it's a good one!

Love uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

SILENT HILL RAP SONG | Dan Bull

Silent Hill is the first truly scary video game I played. I had to play it in small chunks just to cope with it. This game left an imprint on me that I still feel from all those years back. I had to do this one!

Apologies for the live action moves we were being silly on the day and channelling classic Linkin Park 90s emo metal energy.

WE TOLD YOU SO… | BACK 4 BLOOD RAP

I know it LOOKS like I haven't been doing anything for ages but I promise I have - I've got several projects that are about 90% completed now, and also did a whole bunch of guest appearances for other artists, so much that I had to put a stop to it, so I could get finishing me own projects. One of which is this - the Back 4 Blood rap featuring most of UK nerdcore royalty - Shwabadi, The Stupendium, Rustage and Connor Quest!

MERCYBEAT feat. Lollia | Overwatch Mercy song

I wanted to work with Lollia for ages - her voice is fantastic and I pretty much gave her free rein over the chorus of this song. She smashed it!

"A Good World Spoiled" | GOLF CLUB: WASTELAND RAP

I've taken a lot of downtime during the summer holidays for family/laziness reasons, but now I'm back to SCHOOL!

I come bearing yet another sponsored video, however I'm really proud of how this turned out. The mellow spaced out vibes of the track, and also the great video job by Nick.

Bless you. More original content coming soon!

WARFRAME EPIC RAP | "Deep Deep Dreams"

Hello my lovelies. Warframe is a topic that loads of people have requested over the years and I didn't get round to doing it. However, Digital Extremes contacted me and asked me to make a sponsored video showcasing their new Warframe Yareli along with some other fan favourites.

Guys I'm doing super well with sponsored videos lately and I feel kinda weird that I have you supporting me on Patreon when I keep uploading vids that brands have already paid for... rest assured I'm working on s...

BAT B*TCH | Lady Dimitrescu Rap

I'm super proud of this video for a few reasons.

1. It's the first physcal set I've built in my studio for one of my own songs in my studio. We also did the Little Nightmares 2 one there but a lot of the planning behind that one was The Stupendium - this one was basically Nick's and my baby

2. I got to collaborate with the wonderfully talented cosplayer, Fia Cosplay / CosFia - who also happens to be my girlfriend! I think she absolutely nailed the performance especially...

OVERWATCH RAP 🔧 "Torbjörn Not To Be"

When I make a song about a character, I try to match every aspect of it to their style or personality. With Torbjorn being an engineer who likes big noisy machinery, this was a good chance to make a chonky electronic industrial sounding track, big proops to Kustom Beats for his work on the production too!

JUST DIE ALREADY. (a song about old people)

I've had an amazing month of being contacted by brands to make sponsored videos - which makes me feel kind of guilty about you guys supporting me on Patreon. This video was already paid for by the brand, but as usual I'm shouting you out in the credits, I appreciate ya. I'm also spending my free time working on an album of stuff that absolutely won't get big numbers as it's very personal to me, and that's the sort of stuff that Patreon really helps me to make the time for.

When Curve Di...

LITTLE NIGHTMARES 2 RAP... Tune Into The Madness | Dan Bull & The Stupendium

I've invested pretty heavily in setting up a video studio to make high production live videos and build sets. I hope I've done the right thing! Here is one of the first videos from the studio. A collaboration with my arch-nemesis and housemate, The Stupendium. Most of the props in this video were found on Gumtree. Gumtree is weird.

NO.

This one is a sponsored video about the game "Say No! More" so it's not funded by you lovely patrons. I'm sharing it here anyway because sharing is fun, and you're all in the credits anyway xx

OVERWATCH RAP | "Mr. Brigitte Side"

Sometimes, the opportunity to make one of the worst title puns possible is enough justification for the entire song. This is one such opportunity.

Thank you to everyone supporting especially the new patrons - your name may not be in this video as we rendered it a few weeks back now. There's often a delay of a few weeks between finishing up a video and it going live but rest assured we got you!

Amnesia: The Dark Descent rap

I cannot believe this game is 11 years old. But it is 11 years old. That's the same age as an 11 year old.

I love the gothic victorian chills of the Amnesia series so I was excited to do a fittingly gloomy boom bap tribute to the first game. It's even creepier for me to play as the protag is called Daniel and his name gets whispered through the game...

HOW TO BUILD A PC | Rap School #2

I always wanted to continue the Rap School series after the first episode about shaving, which I was really pleased with. Well, better late than never - I worked alongside Overclockers UK to make this. Disclosure - this video was sponsored and paid for by Overclockers so don't consider it a patron-supported video, but I credited you at the end anyway X
