What if there was a video that brings together @grantkirkhope.bsky.social & George Andreas' era-defining DK Rap from #DonkeyKong 64, and the dulcet sounds of the Welsh language?
Finally, it's here for you -
The Welsh translation of the DK Crew!

Nice version of Grunty’s Lair for your delectation!
It's finally done! This huge remixed medley of Gruntilda's Lair from #BanjoKazooie explores every world entry and so much more. The original is one of the most iconic compositions by @grantkirkhope.bsky.social, and I hope that I've done his legendary work justice!
