Whether you're a hardcore hip hop fan, or more of a top '40s listener, you've probably had hip-hip newcomer Kreayshawn's catchy single 'Gucci Gucci' stuck in your head once or twice -- but with 'Kreayshawn: The Game,' you'll see the female rapper like never before.
Created by the gaming gurus at Stencyl.com, this 8-bit video game takes the Bay area rap artist and filmmaker to the streets of LA, to "take down basic b*tches with swag," as the site explains. Operating like a standard adventure game, like Super Mario Bros., Kreayshawn: The Game has four levels and uses simple controls, but is incredibly addictive.
