A tribute written exclusively for 2025 New York Game Awards Legend Award winner Sam Lake (Max Payne, Alan Wake), Teacher/Rapper/Hero Mega Ran and the Random Beats label have presented the appropriately titled track “Sam Lake.”
This track is not only as a tribute to Sam Lake and his award-winning videogames, but also a thank-you to all creators. This serves as an encouragement them to keep going despite sometimes immeasurable odds.
Mega Ran wrote and produced the song, performing it at the sold-out event in January 2025 at the SVA Theatre in New York City.
Sam Lake loved the track, noting the following:
“I feel honored and blessed to have a song built for me by Mega Ran, and I want to shout out all the fierce and brave creators out there building new worlds.”
Want to listen in? The Sam Lake track is available on all major streaming services. 50% of all proceeds from the song will benefit The New York Video Game Critics Circle.
