Yes, as we reported on Wednesday, the DK Rap is back in Donkey Kong Bananza, which as we all know is a very good thing indeed! However, one (perhaps expected, on past evidence) little wrinkle is that Grant Kirkhope, the illustrious composer of the DK Rap, alongside music for the likes of Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie,...
