Zone Runners: Sonic-themed hip hop

This exists

Sonic-themed hip hop exists. Check out Zone Runners, a game music-inspired hip hop trio that just released their debut album of Sonic the Hedgehog type tunes. They run through a number of zones over the 11-track release, with my favorite being “.” “” has some pretty smooth vocals. And that is smooth as f*ck. Their “” also has its charms — especially that chorus!

All tracks are laced with game references and rhythmic use of game sound effects and riffs. It’s weird but clever. I cannot stop listening.
