  • It took a lot out of us to make this song. it was made solely for the game. i created the instrumental and watched the trailer and previous mk chapters before even recording .... yes I've been playing mk since forever and i do play at a higher level than most "rapper friends" (mk mk II mkvsdc mk9 injustice) but anyways we would like to thank nrs for even giving us this opportunity ... the marketing department is brilliant #whosnext
Respect...

You posted this in response to the original post:





I'm saying that it's the best response for anything on this forum.


I use it quite often myself.
Oh ok, I was thinking it was something else my bad lol. Yeah its like Sub-Zero is saying that in response of getting killed in the video.

It is because of the marketing with Wiz Khalifa.

Wiz just dropped one of his most anticipated mixtapes last week and on the largest hip hop download/stream website Datpiff, already has 1.6 million views and 750k downloads. People loved all 28 tracks and wanted more. Guess what? The track in the MK trailer is NOT one of the 28 tracks in his mixtape. So if fans want to hear all of Wiz's new songs, they have to check out the trailer. They probably also thought it was cool and MK is nostalgia, so they told their friends. It also was controversial because putting any type of rap in video game trailers causes that, so people watched it to see what the hoopla was about. Snowball effect.

End of the day, several million people are aware that Mortal Kombat returns in 2015!

Man, NRS reeeaalllyy know how to market their games lol

Ed Boon is no question the smartest man in the FG industry. He outsells everyone for the most part.
Guess the song was in fact a smart decision


its was VERY smart for business.. Thats for sure.. I thought the song did absolutely nothing for the Video it was tied to BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT Wiz Khalifa has like 15 million followers on Twitter (nuff said)


MKX is going to out-sell MK9 and Injustice combined (it wont be close)
