Chippin' In (song)

Background
There are two different songs with the same title present, both of which are chalked up to Samurai as different versions but have been recorded by different artists. Similar to the story of Cyberpunk, these two songs have been recorded by two different artists. The song that has not made it onto the Samurai album was being later clarified to be a cover by Kerry Eurodyne and can be heard during the interlude quest Love Like Fire.

Samurai - Chippin' In (Refused)
''"Refused have released a galloping new tune called "Chippin' In," but the post-hardcore barn burner isn't from the Swedish punk pioneers' upcoming effort, their expected second album since last reuniting five years ago. No, it's from the soundtrack of a new video game called Cyberpunk 2077, and it's not even technically a tune by Refused. It's being presented as a song by their musical alter-ego outfit, Samurai, a seemingly virtual band the quartet created with the developer behind the game, CD Projekt. But that doesn't mean a new Refused record isn't just around the corner. Maybe." -'' Loudwire interview

The band's collaboration with CD Projekt Red has officially been revealed on 2nd of July 2019, when the entire song has been uploaded for fans to hear.

This very song can be heard in clubs and on radio stations, most commonly the 107.3 Morro Rock Radio, which is known to lean heavily towards the same genre.

The original version of the song which appears in the rulebooks of the original rpg as well as in the 2018 gameplay trailer, but is referred to as being sung by Johnny Silverhand. Whether this has simply been a synonym for the band itself or a yet undefined bit of lore has not been stated, however, the full soundtrack lists it as an Eurodyne cover of the song, side by side with the ingame "radio version" popular in Night City, 2077. This version of the Samurai song is one that has not been published under any label but can be heard in glimpses throughout the game. A community mashup video of the available audio has been published by youtube channel Carlos Aragon. The song itself has been performed by Damian Ukeje, who is known as a prolific singer, songwriter and composer from Poland.

In December 2020, this song has been published by CDPR under the album title Cyberpunk 2077: Radio, Vol. 3.
