Richie Branson

Richie Branson (born Marcus Brown II) is a music composer, producer, and independent game designer who has gained notoriety for his powerful and catchy anime and video game inspired raps. The emcee known as the “Otaku King” broke out in 2012 after penning multiple songs for Adult Swim and touring with mc chris. After gaining a loyal following as a hip-hop performer, he achieved billboard-charting success with the release of his “From Guardia With Love” album. Many of the anime and video games that Richie Branson has rapped about throughout his “Otaku Tuesdays” trilogy and beyond include Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, Chrono Trigger, Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, Hunter x Hunter, Fist of the North Star, and Kill la Kill. After his nostalgia-filled raps went viral on various major gaming blogs (including Kotaku, IGN, Destructoid, and more), Branson began an intense study curriculum in computer programming. Armed with experience coding in C# and Javascript, he began developing his own games in late 2014. To find out more about Richie Branson, visit his website http://www.richiebranson.com
