Vinc' composition Way of the Warrior, which counts multiple million views on YouTube alone, has been used for the single Killer's Blood[25] by the artist Cryptik Soul and the rappers Swifty Mcvay and Kuniva. McVay and Kuniva are former members of the multi-award-winning hip-hop crew D12, which since 1999 was signed to the label Shady Records of the successful US rapper Eminem.[26]
