Geek culture often influences other art forms and now it is impacting a brand of rap music from a musician by the name of Ekoh. Ekoh, a massive Marvel fan, released his “Freeverse 5,” this week but previously dropped n entire video dedicated to a rap song about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Avengers: Endgame.
In the video above, titled, “Marvel Avengers End Game Rap,” Ekoh lays down several verses in which he raps about events and characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The song is from 10 months ago, so all of the words are written prior to the events of Avengers: Endgame. If you want to hear his bars about “Far Thor” and the Infinity Gauntlet, you will have to listen to his more recent “Freeverse 5.”
