Young Dirty Bastard (YDB) of the Wu Legacy and son of Ol’ Dirty Bastard officially released a new original song titled “The Path Just Begun,” available now across music streaming platforms.
Inspired and conceived by a partnership with SEGA®, the song celebrates YDB’s love for the legendary franchise. To coincide with the song’s release, SEGA has debuted a new video that weaves YDB’s music and lyricism together with pulse-pounding gameplay footage from the newest game in the SHINOBI franchise, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance™, launching August 29, 2025.
The YDB x SHINOBI partnership celebrates two parallel journeys as the mic is passed on to a new generation with YDB and Wu Legacy, and SEGA enters a new era with its beloved SHINOBI franchise. As one of SEGA’s most iconic franchises, SHINOBI is reimagined for a new generation of players with the upcoming SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, mirroring YBD’s role as the next torchbearer of a musical legacy rooted in martial arts mythology, East-meets-West style and cultural defiance.
YDB’s apparel brand Dirty Magic recently released a SHINOBI apparel collection. Available for a limited time at Amazon, fans can purchase SHINOBI merchandise, including t-shirts, hoodies, and more. Check out the collection HERE.
SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance launches August 29, 2025 and is available for pre-order on Nintendo Switch on the Nintendo eShop starting at $29.99 USD.
