If you were playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and heard the voice of D'Angelo, your senses weren't deceiving you. D'Angelo produced the song "May I? Stand Unshaken" which can be found during Chapter 5 in between the Paradise Mercifully Departed and Dear Uncle Tacitus missions of the incredibly popular console game. If you're wondering how he got that gig, well it's quite simple. He was just a big fan.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Ivan Pavlovich, Director of Music and Audio at Rockstar Games said "He would come in here [Rockstar’s New York city office] and just play the game. We weren’t even talking about doing music. When D’Angelo comes through, he shows up at midnight, and he’s playing the game until four in the morning. Each time he was just like, ‘it’s incredible.’ It just blows his mind. He’s such a fan. I have never seen someone that excited.”

D'Angelo's dedication is what prompted Pavlovich to ask whether or not the singer was interested in recording a song for the game. Other notable stars featured in the game's soundtrack are Nas, Willie Nelson, and Josh Homme.
While the song hasn't officially been released, you can hear it in the video down below.
