Y.T. Cracker, one of nerdcore’s finest, released this album in 2009, and it still holds a spot on my iTunes. Thick and thoughtful lyrics mixed over top of tight beats sampling Chrono Trigger, this free album is a must-download.

Head to this tumblr post to listen to my favorite track from this album.

Maintaining his baller-status, YT includes these spare liner notes:

DJ El Nino and Noccturnal bring us classic hiphop from the Wu Tang Clan mashed up with the soundtrack to the original Castlevania games. While trolling DatPiff you can find a lot of flipped video game music, but it’s a rare treat to find a concept mixtape that goes as hard as this. Check it on DatPiff.

Check out Asis Galvin’s video game beat tape Game Over on Bandcamp. Featuring nineteen instrumentals and a bonus rap song, Game Over features chopped and screwed tunes from games like Super Mario RPG, Mario Kart, and Pokemon.

One of my favorite tracks on the album is a remix of Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game, originally written by Chiptune rock band Anamanaguchi.

The album is tightly produced, dynmatic hiphop fashion, perfect for freestyling over or just some easy listening. At only $5, what’s not to like?

Asis Galvin has also produced a Final Fantasy Remixed album and an Okami Mini-Mixtape. If you’re a fan of any of these games or simply laid back hiphop beats, head over to Bandcamp to support this man!

Deltron 3742 is a sequel to DJ Nerd42′s “Chrono Tied” (2009) which combines the lyrics of Deltron 3030 (2000) over beats made from sampling the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack. (1997) The album explores the concept of a dystopian future (much like the game does) from the point of view of an underground resistance fighter named Deltron Zero. (portrayed by

Most of the instrumentals came from Lost Perception or The Specialist. The instrumental on track 9 is from DJ Green Lantern, Prinz and Kool G Rap – “We G’z” from Alive on Arrival, Team Invasion 2006. The instrumental of track 1 was produced by DJ Nerd42 by sampling the album, “Distant Worlds; Music from Final Fantasy.”
