well not exactly. I’m almost ashamed to say that I’ve never played the Zero series, but I created this song, using the MMZ theme, called “The Resistance.

I just wanted to say that the response to Forever Famicom has been totally unbelievable and overwhelming. It’s always a good feeling to know that when you work hard on something, the people appreciate it. Whether you streamed it, bought it, preordered it, or torrented it, Thank you.

    Now, I’ve collected most of our interviews on Forever Famicom, as well as some bonus stuff, so you can check those out here.

    Random and K-Murdock interview with the Find (pt 1)
    In the last interview, I said: I want this album to be a bridge, for hip hoppers and for video gamers. For video-gamers who never thought they were cool enough to like hip hop, and for hip hoppers who thought they were TOO cool to acknowledge video games that aren’t called ‘Madden’ and ‘Call of Duty’. To me that’s really the extent..

    1Up.com Podcast interview with Random and K-Murdock
    K Murdock: It started about three years ago. To give you some backstory about how I met Ran, I was working at XM Satellite Radio as an audio engineer and on the side I hosted a show called Subsoniq that plays underground and progressive hip-hop. In the mail I had gotten a package with two CDs: The Call and the first Mega Ran album. Ran didn’t know at the time that K Murdock from Subsoniq was also K Murdock from the group Panacea. I loved both the albums but I was flipping out because I had never heard anyone do anything like Mega Ran. I hit him up on Myspace and said we should collaborate.

Between The Forever Famicom project with K-Murdock, and the Language Arts project with DN3 and EOM, I may or may not be working on a something special based on the return of an 8-bit icon to the gaming world.

     

    MEGA MAN 10 is supposed to be dropping next month on Wii, Ps3 and Xbox Live, and I only get asked about 17 times a day if I’m gonna work on something related to this game release.

     

    So….Here’s the short answer.

     

    CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SINGLE "HERE WE GO AGAIN" on iTunes! 

     

    and for you iTunes Haters, check out Amazon.com for an MP3.

    *edit:*Produced by Derrick Canton…. We need to get him a cool MegaMan-esque nickname. lol

    your 99 cents will go a loooooooooooooooong way towards motivating me to do a whole Mega Ran 10 album….maybe. yeah.

     

    TEXAS – if you’re in San Antonio this weekend, I’ll be out there at Our Lady of the Lake University droppin’ a full set plus panel discussion. I’ll be sure to bring my cowboy hat.

    Peace out.
