Our past chat with PlatinumGames composer Naoto Tanaka turned up some interesting stories about secret aliases, hip-hop music in Japan, and of course, pimps. While the United States missed out on the promotional soundtrack released in Europe and Australia, Sumthing Else Music Works eventually came to the rescue with a US release, and more than any other soundtrack, this album was made for a US audience.
It’s no surprise that you’re going to find lots of hip-hop and rap here. There are twenty tracks that come in at just over 50 minutes, so while they’re not overly long, they sure pack a punch. With a variety of vocal talents layered over Tanaka’s catchy beats, this musical experiment really pays off.
