In a fresh take, the nerdcore artist Azazus unveiled his Overwatch 2-inspired rap track titled “Family Ties.” Packed with numerous nods to the game, let’s dissect its content.

The music artist known as Azazus, famous for his “Hack the World” Sombra hip-hop track, has released a new hit song dedicated to an Overwatch 2 character – this time it’s an upbeat rap about Ashe titled “Family Ties.

Azazus drops Overwatch 2 Ashe rap and music video

On January 25, the latest Overwatch 2 Ashe rap commences with the character expressing that everyone deserves a family as navigating the world on one’s own is unjust. The music video for Family Ties subtly hints at Ashe’s background by weaving lyrics about her upbringing in a wealthy family, yet choosing to distance herself from it.

At times, it’s not just those related by blood who are considered family, but those who stand beside you and fight alongside you, when you wear the crown.

Azazus further mentions that Ashe defied authority and established the Deadlock Gang, a well-known criminal organization. The phrase “Cause my family will burn it down” implies that Ashe has found a new family now. This concept of ‘found family’ is not only applicable to Ashe, but also resonates with other Overwatch 2 characters like Hazard.

In the music video, you’ll find B.O.B., an omnic similar to Ashe’s, is always around. Based on Overwatch 2 storyline, B.O.B. was once Ashe’s family’s household omnic. Given our gameplay experience, it’s evident that Ashe treats him with genuine affection, as suggested by her voice lines in the game.

Ashe and Cassidy’s relationship in Overwatch 2

It might not be accurate for Cole Cassidy (Cassidy) to be described in the same way as Ashe. Their past is intricate, and Ashe’s music video and lyrics often hint at this. Following a coincidental encounter, these characters collaborated on a series of crimes, which ultimately propelled Ashe towards becoming an outlaw and forming the Deadlock Gang. The gang’s daring robberies caught the eye of Overwatch.

Afterward, Cassidy enlisted in Overwatch’s secretive special ops team known as Blackwatch. Following Overwatch’s disintegration, Cassidy crossed paths with Ashe and the Deadlock Gang once more. Yet, he hadn’t fully aligned himself with them and ended up making off with Ashe’s motorcycle.

Family Ties Ashe rap features Overwatch 2 references galore

Azazus’ Family Ties music video is filled with additional Easter eggs that will delight fans of Overwatch 2 lore and the game itself. Here are just a few references you might notice: the phrase “it’s my way” (Ashe’s voice line), the setting reminiscent of the Route 66 map, her powerful ultimate’s dialogue, and a confrontation with Widowmaker.

The lyrics and visuals prominently feature The Viper, a semi-automatic rifle belonging to Ashe. A line from the song says, “Riding on the deadlock, there’s no cure once your comrade is bitten by this venomous snake.

Later, the video showcases a battle with Pharah, who, despite her flight capabilities, is no challenge for The Viper due to its hitscan weaponry. Additionally, the video incorporates a tribute to Pharah being Ana’s child and demonstrates Ana’s Sleep Dart ability.

Alright, I’ve shared quite a bit about the Overwatch 2 references in the Family Ties Ashe rap, but let me encourage you to dive in and explore them yourself! It’s an exciting journey that’ll make the fan within you leap with joy!
