CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 4 x WU-TANG CLAN

The Call of Shaolin will definitely be heard across all of gaming this fall as the Wu-Tang Clan’s classic hit “C.R.E.A.M.” will be featured in the highly anticipated blockbuster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. The original version of the song will be featured in the game’s opening cinematic, while the remix will be featured during the end credits sequence. The iconic track has been reimagined by Korean hip-hop artists LEE YOUNGJI, E SENS and Jay Park, delivering their verses in English and Korean, connecting the song to Modern Warfare 4’s new Korean setting. Produced by Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Martin Wave of Parasol Music, the remix brings a fresh perspective to one of hip-hop’s most enduring anthems while connecting with the voices of Korea’s hip-hop scene. This new take on the legendary classic will be released by Epic Records and will be available across all major music streaming platforms. 

“This song is special to me because it brought our group to new heights worldwide,” said RZA. “Reimagining it in a new language with the incredible talent of LEE YOUNGJI, E SENS and Jay Park gives the track a fresh perspective. It is incredible to hear the message resonate with a new generation of rappers from the other side of the globe.”

The Call of Duty franchise has been at the forefront of bringing new musical collaborations into their games. From partnerships and collaborations, Call of Duty has always strived to introduce players to new artists, genres, and sounds from around the world.

“Working with RZA and the legendary Wu-Tang Clan to reimagine one of hip-hop’s most iconic songs has been an incredible opportunity,” said Tyler Bahl, Chief Marketing Officer, Activision. “As Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Wu-Tang’s influence on music and culture is undeniable. At its core, ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ tells the story of a group of young people coming together, overcoming adversity, and rising from nothing to something. That journey mirrors the arc of our characters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Bringing that story to life through some of Korea’s most exciting hip-hop artists connects two generations of music and culture in a way that feels authentic to the game and its setting.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23 across all platforms.
