While Dale is busy posting videos of year old YouTube virals, I'm here to bring you fresh and current hotness. 8bitduane's music here might sound familiar and that's because Duane isn't a stranger to videogame-themed rap music. He was a part of The Adventures of Duane and Brand0 but now he's doing his own thing and the music still sounds just as good.

8bitduane is building up his own collection of music with help from Robert Sloan and the music videos were created by RZA24. Above is a rap based on the only Mario property that has yet to be whored out by Nintendo. Check out Bad Dudes and Castlevania covers after the break.

[Thanks, Filip]

8bitduane (or Action Adventure World) is pretty much "The Adventures Of Duane & BrandO" with one voice less, which is really interesting since Brando, among all the mud slinging he did when they split, made it very clear that he was doing everything and Duane just rapping a bit. Extremely curious to see how "The Adventures Of" will turn out sounding. I do like Brando's other stuff and some of the other musicians he's got lined up for the project are amazing, let's hope it comes together well and this soup actually ends up being twice the fun. Still a bummer the original band and more importantly their friendship were crashed.

I loved the Adventures of Duane and Brando so I'll be cautious of these since half the team is gone. I've only watched the first one which wasn't bad but still, I hope the rest turn out well.

Not a into rap so much, but I was digging the Super Mario Land rap. It's been years since I last touched that game, so the video brought back some sweet memories! =) Thanks, Hamza!

Duane's solo stuff seems pretty much like the Duane and Brando stuff. I have no clue why they split, but it doesn't look good for Brando.

I work in a games shop DK64 time went out and had to flee the introduction of all day to let people know it was available.

Good for Samit, maybe now he'll stop watching so many The Office reruns and start posting his own original articles on the website

I'm an inspiring music producer and this definitely gave me some ideas about some hip hop instrumentals that I could do ;)
