As a known and trusted connoisseur of hip-hop, I feel compelled to tell you all about Memphis rapper (and fellow Destructoid reader) Adam WarRock. After gaining recognition recently for his 3-track EP inspired by the NBC series Parks and Recreation, he's back with a new 5-track EP all about Mass Effect.
Hit the jump for the rest of the album, and then GET HYPED because March 6th is only a month away!
To take a break from rapping about comic books and TV shows, I made a video game hip hop EP. In celebration of the release of the Mass Effect 3 demo (and while I was replaying Mass Effect 2) I decided to make a few songs about Mass Effect. For "Active Squad," I invited some friends along to rap about some of their favorite characters they like to always have in their squad. One in particular, Kabuto the Python, was known for his own Mass Effect EP, The N7 EP, best known for the hit Mass Effect song, "Those Minerals". It was a blast, and hope you enjoy this EP.
Please check out more of my music at http://adamwarrock.com. Check for my new full-length album dropping on February 13.

i dont understand this fad of making music based on video games or remixes of original sound tracks and tv shows etc. or even a music album based on a interview type talk show.
then again, i really dont care to much about music. dont follow bands or even remember track names. i just listen to stuff that doesnt annoy me. fans of anything make me laugh.
Not to be a "HATER" or anything, but this is..... unimpressive. Dude's flow is pretty basic, beats aren't that good, nevermind original, and the timing is just *too* convenient for a project like this. Now, MEGA RAN was a good video game-themed mixtape. Random had INSANE wordplay, used beats that sampled from the original game music instead of just using other people's beats, and wasn't done just because the next Megaman game was about to come out. (Mega Ran 9 is a different story, but at least that one was endorsed/requested by Capcom).
I get it, I really do, I'm excited for ME3 as much as y'all are. But this isn't satisfactory to me, as a CONNOISSEUR OF HIP-HOP.

Sooooo... why did you post again?
"fans of anything make me laugh."
Wait...what? I'm not sure I understand. Is there something inherently wrong with being a fan? Being a fan of just means you enjoy things.

But that's just my opinion.
