The Adventures of Duane & BrandO are the American versions of Hyadain. Yup, I said it. They're that damn awesome!
The duo raps over various videogame tracks in one go. The song that won me over is the Mega Man II cover, which they rap through the title screen, all eight robot bosses and to Dr. Wily himself. The lyrics are pretty solid and really makes you want to get up and dance.
I've heard a lot of covers based on Mega Man and I have to say that Duane & BrandO have done the best job so far. They have a bunch of videogame covers over on their MySpace from Final Fantasy, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ninja Gaiden to many more.
Check out the Mega Man II and Sonic the Hedgehog covers after the break. A couple of tracks from The Ocarina of Rhyme albums and a mash-up of Jay-Z and Phoenix Wright also await you after the break.

Team Teamwork created this version of
The Ocarina of Rhyme (above), which is rap lyrics from major rap stars dubbed over music from the
The Legend of Zelda series. If you dig Team Teamwork's stuff, you can download their songs

The other The Ocarina of Rhyme album is by Sleaze and it's all original lyrics by Sleave dubbed over Zelda music. You can download Sleaze's stuff from his blog, Ketchup Please?
