''Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure'' is a 2006 video game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}, and PC, developed by The Collective and published by Creator/{{Atari}} in collaboration with fashion designer and entrepeneur Marc Eckō. It centres on an up-and-coming young graffiti artist named Coltrane "Trane" Crowley (voiced by Talib Kweli), who is determined to make a name for himself in the fictional dystopic city of New Radius, while leading his graffiti crew, the Still Free Crew (SFC), in a street war against their rivals the Vandals of New Radius ([=VaNR=]), led by Gabe (MC Serch). However, in the midst of his efforts, he uncovers evidence of a conspiracy involving Trane's dead father and the mayor of New Radius, Mayor Miguel Sung (George Hamilton), and decides to use graffiti in an effort to expose the government's corruption. In the process he must outfight and outsmart the violent and virulently anti-graffiti New Radius police force, the Civil Conduct Keepers (CCK).
