Go snatch Richie Branson’s From Guardia With Love
Last year, I discovered a nerdcore rapper by the name of Richie Branson, wholaid verses atop anime tracksfromCowboy Bebop,Gurren Lagann, and more. He was also a very vocal proponent of bringing Toonami back onto Cartoon Network, and you might have actually heard his music during a few Adult Swim bumps. And you know me — I dig this kind of stuff.
The self-styled “Otaku King,” who has made no secret of hislove for the classic Squaresoft years, recently released aChrono Triggertribute entitledFrom Guardia With Love. The seven-track album can be purchased fromBandcampfor $6.97 or fromiTunesfor $6.93.
The cool part about this story is that Richie will donate 100% of his earnings to theExtra Lifecharity group. Even if you aren’t a big nerdcore fan — and over the past few years, plenty of you made thatextremelyclear to me — you gotta agree that this is a pretty solid move on his part. But ifChrono Triggerraps do strike your fancy, by all means, enjoy to the fullest!
