THE APEX | Hitman 3 Rap feat. NemRaps!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.พ. 2021
- In IO Interactive's Hitman 3, the final chapter in the world of Assassination trilogy, you return to the shoes of master assassin Agent 47, the apex predator, travelling the world in search of the elusive Providence and searching for the truth behind agent 47's past.
It's no secret I love the Hitman series and Hitman 3 is no exception. This track was a blast to put together, I wanted to go for a more epic, cinematic tone for the song vs The Second's more creeping, ominous vibe, to reflect the larger scale and stakes at play in Hitman 3 and I'm super happy with how it turned out.
I actually had very different plans for the video initially but scheduling meant I had to scale it back to something more similar for the idea for the previous Hitman video. Initially I was not keen on this plan, I wanted to do something different, but after a while I came around to the idea of making a similar video as the previous one to challenge myself and show how my video making has improved. So this is more 'multiple me killing me' but with about 47,000% more complexity and production value! ;)
A huge thanks to NemRaps for featuring on this track! I've wanted to work with him for the longest time. Be sure to check out his channel if you aren't familiar with his work!

LYRICS:
CHORUS 1
I see a figure in the corner
I see a shadow on the wall
I see a new world order
Balanced on the brink
In a blink it’ll fall to the-
I see a close of an empire
I see a new architect
I see a fuse to be set fire
Forged in the wire
Pulled tight round your neck by the ICA
VERSE 01
The balance of power
Is a delicate thing
But cometh the hour
Cometh the king
Here at the summit
The pendulum swings
‘Cause like any puppet
The world’s on a string
Invisible glove with the globe on a thread
Just one man can cut it, can plummet the web
It is said on the back of the eyes of the dead
Is a terror in black with a tie burning red
With the blood that was spilled in a chilling whodunnit
Your cupboards are filled there’s no pinning the culprit
Assassins just pale when he’s kicking the buckets
Of madmen and magnates, the sick and corrupted
There’s a shape within the shadows
There’s a chill up in the air
No, your status doesn’t matter
Empty will or billionaire
In a palace or a manor
Manned with killers at your care
If you’re pencilled in his planner
Chance is he’s already there
Perhaps that new butler who walked past your henchmen?
And brandished that tumbler of port no-one questioned?
So hand in your number, report in to heaven
Those passes when punched, well they’re all forty-seven
CHORUS 2
I see a figure in the corner
I see a shadow on the wall
I see a new world order
Balanced on the brink
In a blink it’ll fall to the-
I see a close of an empire
I see a new architect
I see a fuse to be set fire
Forged in the wire
Pulled tight round your neck by the ICA
VERSE 02
Listen, thanks for all the warnings
my security's been beefed up several times since 9 this morning
checkpoints at every corner, lasers in ventilations
I've got bodyguards for bodyguards, no way he'll penetrate when
every unit on my team's supreme, completely redeemed in worthiness
which means I'm impervious to the schemes of mercenary services
my servants are subservient, don't move unless I say so
can't refuse my influence, half your crew is on my payroll
47 better lay low, or he might get 86'd
let's put a bounty on his head, that crass assassin makes me sick
if his barcode doesn't scan, we just need to price check him
blood spilling on my designer tiles, "clean up on aisle 7"
look, I'm not afraid of the ICA
I'm like 1000 floors up, they'll never find me... wait
is that a person lurking in the curtains? no it's gotta be the bourbon
'cause I'm certain my observers would've heard him
that would've been quite the feat for him to sneak past
Oh my God, it is him, I need to think fast
guards! someone stop this vigilante
please, I have a family... is this the end? No! It can't b-
Your plan was clandestinely running the show
But your clan is destined for coming to blows
With the man who’s the best in expunging his foes
Whilst casually dressed in their underling’s clothes
Security forces may find that it’s naptime
Scored by the faint lullaby of your flatline
Falling away as you find that you can’t fly
Or simply bake you a pie with a landmine
It’s the ominous addition that was hidden in your condiments
Topping you for thinking that you’re living without consequence
Grip around the populace whilst sitting in your opulence
You built your own sarcophagus, now that’s what I call providence
So ‘til your hour chimes you hide inside your ivory monuments
Build your tower too high don’t be surprised when there’s no oxygen
Where that power lies, yes there’s a price behind predominance
And forty-seven’s on the tag you’ll find upon your shopping list
CHORUS 3
I see a crack in the hourglass
I see a line in the sand
I see a world that will outlast
All of your plans
When you fall to the hands of the-
I see a tide that is shifting
I see a hole in the ark
I see curtain is lifting
Picking off targets
Now ripped of their masks by the-
I see a figure in the corner
I see a shadow on the wall
I see a new world order
Balanced on the brink
In a blink it’ll fall to the-
I see a close of an empire
I see a new architect
I see a fuse to be set fire
Forged in the wire
Pulled tight round your neck by the ICA
Wow that is long
This one's a banger
Very good job this time
How are constantly dropping bombs every time u upload
Amazing song as always great job
You will never be able to find a reason to not rap while wearing a suit. Or multiple.
The suits give him power
@@vc_whatever so that's how he sings so good is it possible to learn this power
@@TheArachnidCompany Perhaps, but we don't have enough suave and swagger for it
Nobody has that many suits. It's ridiculous.
There is one, i don't have suit :'(
“I see a” or ICA? Genius!!
“ICA” what he did there.
I know
@@traceyblackwell1748 what is that name!?!?
Took me longer to realize that than I'd be happy in admitting.
ashamed to say it took me until the final chorus to realize the pun lmao
"One-fifty-one thousand, six hundred people die every day on earth
A surprising amount of them to the same guy."
- Fate, Death and Taxes.
Agent 47 sent to assassinate Robert and Sierra Knox
Chance of success: 163.97% chance
Now in the actual lore it says whenever you get a game over that 47 is replaced with a clone of himself that also has to accomplish the same thing
Doesn’t this mean there’s probably a million agent 47s in the afterlife
That also means that agent 47 seven is probably dead. At when the first person failed the game, they respawned as Agent 48
@@kmac291 hi
@@therobotengineer9834 hi
The biggest feat of Agent 47 that people seem to forget: the fact he always manages to get disguises off henchmen that are exactly his size.
Nah it just doesn't show you how he refits all the henchmen's clothes
In all fairness; at least when it comes to soldiers; police officers and security officers assigned to guard duty you’d think that those peoples would meet an height standard and as such have gear that fits 47 relatively well
@Fake Hero free money or a virus it’s a gamble of if The ICA discover your actions
@Mr common sense Yet he can't wear female uniforms. Strange that a game about stealing people's clothes to facilitate gruesome murder doesn't allow that.
@@av___3458 what if its just an ability, that scientistst put on him so he can be more flexible?
The unintended hilarity when ICA is also a prominent swedish supermarket chain...
Imagine the creative methods...
"Here lies Robert, who was stabbed by a candy cane shank"
The wall Mart ceo better watch his back
Seth Everman is just working with his local supermarket
Everyone needs a cover.
@@cmirdarthanna5251 i was just gonna comment that.
"Build your tower too high don't be surprised when there's no oxygen"
I don't know how a human being comes up will lyrics that good. Also that chorus hits HARD!
damn I was 38 minutes late to write this comment xD
Not only that, you can actually hear his breath there. MM. I love these little details.
Bold of you to assume he’s human
He’s not human. He’s an AI. That explains everything.
They've been genetically engineered like Agent 47 to make lyrics that are rad as hell
Fun fact: assuming that the zoom-out of the globe-thing at the start is diegetic, a total of 6 Stupendiums die in the music video.
He clones himself
And One NemRaps dies
@@batgames2474 just like 47 in the games if you fail
He cant clone himself think about the amount of hair on the floor after the music video
Diegetic?
Gotta say, the little touch that 47 doesn't even let Nem finish his last words was amazing.
doesn’t even deserve the words
and its brilliant how the line seems to rhyme even though it doesn't, because we immediately add that last word ourselves
Ah, I see you have dialogue. I have a silencer on my gun.
Skip Cutscene?
> *Yes* No
At this point he's mastered "malevolent man/entity/whatever in a suit"
He's grooming us to accept him as the ultimate overlord of Earth when the time comes. Joke's on you Stupes, I'd do it anyway.
@@Nalimias Well, seeing as this song's immediate successor was the Evil Genius 2 one...
I need to wear suits more often 😏 Thanks for having me!
Hey, good job man! Really liked your part!
ngl bro your hitman rap goes harder 👀
Awesome work!
Honestly, I think you played your part of the overconfident rich guy really well. Right up until something went horribly wrong, and you started playing the part of a scared guy who knows pleading does nothing but pleads anyways.
Your part was awesome and I will definitely be subbing to you and him
I love the line "There's a shape within the shadows, there's a chill up in the air,no your status doesn't matter,empty will or billionaire". It brings some nostalgia.
1:27
"Tide that is Shifting"
"A hole in the ark"
That is so clever
I hope the dinos don’t get out of the ark.
Noah, We May Have A Problem.
"Line in the sand."
Reference to the briefing for the Situs Inversus mission.
EVERYONE ONTO THE ARK, WE ARE LEAVING CYBERTRON! - Optimus Prime, war for Cybertron.
All jokes put aside, this is above studio quality.
Right? I'm watching it like this is some professional looking work right here.
This guy could be up there with best rappers such as eminem, nf, t-pain and other rapper/ hip hop stars
I agree this music is great
The man always delivers.
Yeah, but I guess he gets less attention than them by making videogame music, but Iike it so....
Oh well ...
"Chill up in the air.
Your status dosen't matter,
Empty will or billionaire."
Damn I love the flow of this
@Curtis Hutnick That’s what it felt like to me, too. Was a nice throwback, plus it was even more intense and quick-paced than the original
same
@Curtis Hutnick There's no way to do battle when you're caught unaware, One blink and he'll be gone and you'll be dead in your chair
The "I see a/ICA" thing is just brilliant, bloody marvel the songs you make, godspeed stupes, godspeed
This was on of the best parts in my opinion.
God the gramogram of ICA and I see a IS SO DAMN CATCHY AND CLEVER
This rap is on a different level, it's an actual banger
huh. usually, wherever you are, there either a “you’re everywhere” or an annoyed comment about the scope of subscription list.

Stupendium on the other hand dang he good also: lol
You mean 2 songs In a month
And I was just dabbling in Interstellar once more because of a movie review HAHA
And most of Stupendium's songs are better and made better than actual musicians that have a studio
@@titaniumboa1206 And he works for free, from home, in his free time from his full-time job.
"Build your tower to high, don't be surprised when there's no oxygen" is the best quote I've ever heard in a song
"its said on the backs of the eyes of the dead is a terror in black with a tie burning red" that is cold as ice and then " security forces may find that it's nap time scored by the faint lullaby of your flatline" dude stupe is legit an ice machine
Hope you got a license in the UK for that weapon! And for killing this track!
The guns are plastic but I filed all of the correct paperwork with the Ministry of Sound! ;)
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
No ICA agent needs a license, they're too careful to get caught with it in the first place.
Ngl tho good comment I was about to make one about the guns but nvm. You did it.
@@TheStupendium lmao. Assasinate that bell. 😂😂😂
@@TheStupendium i just listened to your music but it speaks to me man good job
"There’s a shape within the shadows
There’s a chill up in the air"
That is a brilliant callback to the Hitman 2 song, I _love_ it! Amazing work.
^ :)!!!
this isn't as good, but still pretty nice.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed!
It was a delight to hear a reference to that one
But he won't let you get rattled you won't know that he's there
...Please don't kill me. Seriously, the fact that you went from singing PERFECTLY NORMALLY about cans to the most intimidating thing in the goddamn world is an absolute marvel to me. Bravo Stupendium!
That song about cans was the most normal song I've ever heard.
For me it was very intimidating
Yes, the can song was quite normal
@Gordon's peronal channel it was only about cans and nothing else
@@floreacristian949 this guy gets it
"47 better lay low, or he might get 86'd"
that is GENIUS! good job stupes!
I take no credit there! Nem wrote his own lyrics! :)
@@TheStupendium oh, really? that's cool!
great song :) and also thx for the heart! means a lot!
Another thing that could wrok would be catch 22, but that would be hard to rhyme with.
86 was is best friend right?
@@gamerstheater1187 Yes and also To “86” something is like to stop it or get rid of it.
I wanna say that NemRaps totally nailed the “Stuck-Up Asshole” bit of Marcus Stouvyesant. The way he treats you during the recruitment mission reveals his personality, and this song nails that personality in Marcus. Great job as always Stupendium!
Fr I hate Marcus because that, so I killed hom in the most embarrassing way you could die.. be hit with a fucking rubber ducky which caused you to fall off your skyscraper
I like how we when from sexualizing canned drinks to songs about establishing world order through assassinations in less than a month.

"So hand in your number,
Report in to Heaven"
Is that a sneaky little Fine Print easter egg?
Closer to Rest Employed I think:
"Take a number, wait in line
Live your life and we'll be right behind you"
I posted a comment about this the same day you did because I couldn't find anyone else who'd noticed it, but it appears you did.
"Madmen and *magnates*" could also be a subtle reference to fine print
Fine print was by far my fav.
Rest Employed, probs.
I just love the fact that "I see a" sounds really similar to "ICA".
that is a well made song honestly, good job!
Good god the "cometh the hour cometh the king" line is just absolutely perfect, what a fantastic song.
Is noone gonna talk about the last shot (I guess you see the pun there), where he has youtubers behind him, that he worked with and the ones who react to his songs (like AyChristine and Insane Ian). I think it is so cool and I can't wait for their reaction to that.
Finally someone talks about it.
Yes it looks so good
Omg I see CG5 at the top
I recognised CG5, Dan Bull and members of Random Encounters
And Rustage ;)
I can't expect something but a masterpiece by the man that rhymed "Tray","Stay" and "RSPCA" once.
What a Fowl way to say good-day.
Don't forget all three of those words were rhymed with with "sage"!
As well as "botantist", "communist" and "balloon hobbyist"
@@johnbones3455 Don't forget the two paleontologists! And the word "columnist" was in there somewhere as well.
@@johnbones3455 dont forget paleontologist
"There's a shape within the shadows, there's a chill up in the air, no your status doesn't matter, empty will or billionaire." I just love that little section so much. It's so beautifully executed, it just sounds perfect.
It's the little things like staying in character even after the song ends that makes me love your work even more.
I physically cannot describe how good this is. Wow.
It's like 0° Kelvin

"balanced on the brink in a blink it will fall to the I SEE A"
The GENIUSNESS is unscalable
Truly
exactly.
Honestly I can't get over how good the parts are where you're in the chair, looking both ominous and almost sad as 47, like you regret what must be done kind of thing. It's so perfect.
Spoiler alert!
Would you be sad too if your older brother committed to protect you from the evil organisation your dad made you for only for your girlfriend to give you to said organisation instead?
I showed my metal/punk music loving parents this last week. Now, every time my dad showers, he screams it at the top of his lungs😭 no but fr, it's illegal to drop something so fire all if a sudden❤
1: MY LIFE GOALS HAVE COME TRUE STUPES LIKED MY COMMENT😭
2: I only just noticed agent (idk lmao) has a QR code on the back of his head😅
You have such range, you can go from a silly song like the goose or goat one, to a deadly (see what I did there) serious song about killing and the balance of power...Bravo my good sir
OMG He hearted me, I just wanted to say I am a big fan , keep up the good work
I CRAVE PUNS!
I love that this was uploaded after the *normal* can song
@@elinal9985 The can song was a normal song about cans...and nothing else. Get your mind out the gutter
@Rylan can make Moore puns you missed an opportunity for a grave pun
1. Masterclass as always with both the tie-ins AND the callbacks, and I love this sort of techno-metal-pop style, it's completely different to The Second yet just as fitting.
2. Nem absolutely NAILED his performance, he was rocking the blue suit as hard as you do 47's too, but I feel lyrically his verse lacked enough of a punch, not sure if it's the delivery or the lyrics themselves but it's only noticeable to me because right up until the end of it his verse is *super* smooth.
3. this REALLY makes me wanna hear a Dishonored 1 and/or 2 rap from you, especially the first verse, that immediately made me think of Dishonored 2.
Ohhhh a Dishonored rap would be fantastic!
Dishonored is one of my favourite game of all times, always in my heart
A dishonored song would be amazing!
that would be awesome. maybe high choas and low choas verisons?
I would love a dishonored song
'Security forces may find that it's nap time'
'Scored by the faint lullaby of your flatline'
HOW DOES THIS MAN COME UP WITH LYRICS THAT GO SO HARD
He is the Lyrical-omincon embodied
This song really does balance the feeling of both being a powerful assasin that can get to any target and the paranoia of someone on his hitlist, bravo! All of the lines are executed (heh) perfectly, so I keep finding new favourite bars.
Your original and remastered hitman songs were always on my top favorite songs of yours but WOW this one just topped them easilly. I'm mind blown. This might even be my favorite song so far, and the visuals are incredible. I love it.
Everyone’s talking about the lyrics (as they should!) but I find myself focused on the video itself. The in game footage, the green screen, the shot with all the creators behind you. You’re a genius Greg, in every sense of the word!
Darn CG5 got too sus from the among us songs so 47 is after him

He looked so genuinely offended when he stole the poisoned hot dog from himself.
You don't mess with a man's food. It's a sacred trust!
If this doesn't work as the ICA Official Anthem, I have no idea what will, admirably done in song AND visuals, you never stop exceeding expectations! And thanks for inspiring some ideas for some stories of mine with this!
"I see a..."
Spectacular dedication from an artist keen on homaging the video game series he was inspired by!
Whereas "The Second" was about how Agent 47 could be *anyone and anywhere*,this one expands on how his actions affect the world as a whole, how the use of his vast arsenal of tools and skill can have an everlasting impact on...pretty much everything. The fact that all lyrics are "emotionless",determined and boppin, at the same time is spectacular o-o
I also love the different scenarios built on the apparently simple "Stupes#(n) is killed by Stupes#(n+1)",not to mention the different costume choices ;)
The segment of NemRaps was fantastic as well,besides great rhymes,lyrics and speedy delivery,it's also an AMAZING blend between singing and performing as the character.
(I also really like how Stupes has a red tie with a dark,cold background and suit whereas Nem has a blue suit in a cosy decor...I just like it X) )
All in all,this magnificent song hits all the marks! It truly does!
...
And the fact that he survived *two* assassination attempts from Agent 47 proves the Stupendium is the most powerful character! ;)
3, if you count the remastered Second as a different encounter. That's more than Faba can say. He only survived once.

I ran out of death related puns this time. So how about "don't die"?
Another person pointed out the "Tide that is shifting" shifted to "hole in the ark"

"Assassins just pale when he's kicking the buckets"
Pale, like... A pail. A bucket

@@gamingnoob1872 it's funny finding a reply to an account of mine that no longer exists. The chances!
Can I just say that 1:28 to 1:32 is wicked sick? Something about that style of lyric-motion syncing is just so kick-ass! Same with 3:32 to 3:40! I hope there's more plans for similar in the future - or maybe I'm just not watching closely enough...
Anywho, another top shelf song! I just hope that shelf doesn't fall on me by accident...
Edit: I forgot the also-amazing radio-voice in the first minute! I love those effects, and this is why you've been rapidly climbing as a favorite of mine!
1:39 to 1:48, you seem to hand yourself a nice glass of Port here... And I highly doubt you managed to get a body double (if you did, i'm _very_ surprised you managed to find someone so handsome to replicate you!)
So... how did you do it? It's such a seamless piece of work that I genuinely can't tell how you pulled this editing trick off. Your videos tend to be packed with amazing editing and/or animation, but this one in particular catches me off guard.
It is two separate takes. When I hold the tray out as the butler I'm actually placing it on a hidden black platform with exact positioning markers. There are also markers on the tray for exact placement of the glass. Someone else is stood opposite me and lifts the glass on a sound cue.
In the shot where I lift it the tray and drink are already in the exact marked positions where they were when I was 'holding' the tray. So I have two takes where the glass is in the exact same position and is lifted at the exact same times, making them easy(ish) to stitch together. :)

So thats what the “build your tower too high dont be suprised when theres no oxygen” twitter line was from
I got goosebumps with this song, awesome collab!! I specially loved the light and shadow combo that was shown and the calm menacing demeanor that you had in the video. You are killing it!!!
"There's a shape within in the shadows there's a chill up in the air" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I love that call back to the first song
“Security forces may find that its naptime, scored by the faint lullaby of your flatline.” - 12/10
Honestly some of the "I see a..." lines gave me a true feeling of a larger than life power, and now I finally get how terrifying 47 is.

"Now that's what I call Providence."
Brilliant.
You killed this song more soundly then the hitman killed any of his targets, outstanding!
Curse my hubris in editing my misspelling I have lost the ❤️ of Stupendium!
This should be in the official soundtrack of the game
I love how you incorporated a part of the hitman 2 rap with the "there's a shape within the shadows, there's a chill up in the air"
Hitman 2 rap focussed on the ethereal side of Agent 47, making him more than human and something to be feared akin to the grim reaper. Now this song shows he's something more than that, because there is no one who can escape him when his target is set, the whole thing feels like a call to battle as he is on the hunt and setting fire to the fuse to the bomb which will destroy his enemies whole world.
Bro 47 would be the reaper if the name wasnt taken by koro sensei
Thank you for summing up what I felt hearing the song for the first time :)
ICA New World Order - One of the best lines you’ve ever come up with
"There's a shape in the shadows, there's a chill up in the air."
If I remember correctly, those lyrics are on The Hitman 2 Rap, nice flashback.
I’ve never been all too interested by the Hitman games, never grabbed me, but this... this is what video game rap should be, it even makes me wanna buy Hitman 3, and that is the definition of a fine piece of video-game based music, great work Stupes, these songs are always the highlight of the month-ish
Same. I've never played a Hitman game, but I want to now.
"No your status doesn't matter, empty will or billionaire"
Personality i find that a really good line, well done!
0:44 Definitely my favorite part. The lines are nothing special themselves, i mean they are really good, but so is the whole song. It's the delivery that really gets me. The pause and emphasis on 'thing' and 'king' are chilling.
Same here
I just love the "lullaby of your flatline", it is at the same time incredibly chilling and badass.
"there's a shape within the shadows" "there's a chill in the air" I see what you did there, good reference to the first one, tbh I wasn't expecting this bug i love it, great work!
You mean the second
@@lucasbeck1391 yeah that's what I mean, his first hitman rap
@@IdontKnow-nm8bz it was just a bad joke
Literally listening to the remaster when this came out.
Your pfp lol

I'm sorry I'm still trying to compute how it's possible for him to have outdone the hitman 2 raps.
This song’s level is “Untouchable” and The Stupendium’s skill is “On Top Of The World”. I’d be willing to say that he’s the “Apex Predator”. But I think I’ve made too many puns, so I’ll bid you “The Farewell”.
But I hope there‘s no „Death in the Family“ because that would be the „End of an Era“.
@Deborah Ajao Yes, they are.
@@derlesende That would definitely be “The Showstopper”
@@kennedytwins575 I am sure this wasn‘t „The Final Test“.
@@derlesende And now we’re in “A Gilded Cage”
The absolute King of word play in these style of music. You and JT are my absolute go to. Shine on you beautiful Brit
And fyi sir, I'd have thought it PERFECT if you had played Andrew Ryan in JT's recent live bioshock rap video. You were perfect at him in your new Vegas video
So, I've listened to this song about 10 times over the past week, which isn't a lot, I confess. But today I discovered another line which gave me chills:: "scored by the faint lullaby of your flatline.". I don't know why, but it paints such a vibrant picture of death.
I absolutely love how you made “I See A” and ICA blend so well together, having lyrics that can have 2 meanings takes some serious skill
Damn, Nem had a verse that was mind-blowing.
Like the “impervious” bit is perfect
Unfortunately, 47 had a gun that was even more mind-blowing.
he pulled a Kennedy
@@Flowerlytdm “nothing bad ever happens to the kene-“ *gunshot*
Absolutly mental how you can make a calm song then switch to this...I honeslty love this as a big fan of you and the Hitman series
The last part gives me chills everytime, the voice, the lyrics, it's just perfect!
That feels way too short, I NEED MORE STUPENDIUM
btw, love the language here, "scored by the faint lullaby of your flatline" may be my favourite line ever
Agreed, that part of the song just makes me so happy.
"And Assassinate that Bell"
Well if you insist (ends up shooting phone).
I commented on this video before finishing Hitman 3. I said before it was the music videos on this game that got me invested enough to give Hitman a go. I played Hitman 2016, retraced it's steps and looked into the prior games so when I came to 3 I knew all I needed to and have a celebrity crush on David Bateson. This song hits even harder with me now that I've completed the story, particularly the close of an empire and new architect lines, whilst the hitman 2 rap was an insidious and ghostly whisper most of the time this now has the feel of a fanfare. Hitman 3 for the time being is the last installment in the Hitman franchise and it ended on a spectacularly high note and it's that note this rap captures beautifully and addictively. So much like the game Hitman I'm gonna be playing this over and over again.
I must say, I love all your songs. But this one is just... So gripping. Everything from the track to the lyrics to the video itself is just so perfect. I listen it on repeat. You are awesome!
Stupes got a collab where they wore a suit too. Soon he’ll have everyone looking dapper too
oooh maybe there will be stupes suits added to the merch store
Admit It, this was what we all needed to have a good weekend
Bruh
This raises the bar for all others on this sphere
ICA as "I see a" is the kind of clever wordplay that keeps me coming back to your channel, man. All bangers.
NemRaps had like a Lex Luther vibe to him, he had that kind of swag.
We need "Cometh the hour, cometh the king" merch
Ok, I need to know. Who gave you the PERMISSION to be so skilled at EVERYTHING??? BRO!! I need to colour this song ASAP!!
Wdym colour?
@@blakksheep736 I can see sound.
@@MKGremlin ooooo
What color is the song then?
"I see a new world order
Balanced on the brink
In a blink it’ll fall to the-
I see a..."
Absolute. Brilliance.
