This show marks the 50th regular episode of GeekDad HipTrax. Oh, how far we've some!
To celebrate the occasion, this episode is heavily hip-hop. It is also heavenly hip-hop. (See what I did there?).
Today's edition features:
"Different Language" by Beefy
Our own GeekDad Curtis reviewed Beefy's newest offering With Sprinkles earlier this week. I can't imagine you need any further motivation to pick up this nerdcore masterpiece, but I included this track just in case. Now proceed directly to Bandcamp to snag the album in question.
"Dream Master" by Mega Ran & K-Murdock
To say that the Random/K-Murdock collaboration known as Forever Famicom is anxiously awaited is an understatement. There has been a steady stream of hype building up over the previous months, and, after hearing the album's recently released (and free) debut singles, I am pleased to report that it's every bit as amazing as anticipated. It's nostalgic chip-hop at its finest.
"We Don't Need Another Trilogy (feat. Dale Chase)" by John Anealio
John Anealio and Dale Chase are the peanut butter and chocolate of the nerd music meta-community. I always suspected they'd go well together, and this piece is certainly proof positive. It's another fine freebie from John's own Sci-Fi Songs blog.

The HipTrax theme song was created by Snake Eyes. I hear he's working on a big screen adaptation of Alf. I expect good things.
