To promote their then-upcoming video game ''{{wp|Yooka-Laylee}}'', a spiritual successor to classic Rareware games such as ''{{wp|Banjo-Kazooie}}'' and ''Donkey Kong 64'', Playtonic Games posted the "Yooka-Laylee Rap" on their YouTube channel.<ref>Playtonic Games (April 1, 2017). [https://youtu.be/9mSzJj1c1z0 The Yooka-Laylee Rap!] ''YouTube''. Retrieved November 3, 2019.</ref> The song was written by Grant Kirkhope as an homage to the DK Rap and, as such, contains a number of allusions to it. For instance, Yooka's verse states that he is "green as heck," a tongue-in-cheek reference to the word "hell" from the original DK Rap being replaced with "heck" in the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' rendition. In addition, Yooka is described as "quick" and "nimble," a nod to Tiny Kong's verse. The general melody is noticeably very similar to the DK Rap. | To promote their then-upcoming video game ''{{wp|Yooka-Laylee}}'', a spiritual successor to classic Rareware games such as ''{{wp|Banjo-Kazooie}}'' and ''Donkey Kong 64'', Playtonic Games posted the "Yooka-Laylee Rap" on their YouTube channel.<ref>Playtonic Games (April 1, 2017).
