Cave Story - a Lyrical Walkthrough
by Lee=Emcee²
Lee=Emcee²'s 'Cave Story - a Lyrical Walkthrough' is a conceptual hip-hop album that functions as a detailed, step-by-step oral guide to the indie video game 'Cave Story'. The project's lyrics meticulously chronicle the game's plot, characters, and branching paths, with a sound rooted in early hip-hop influences and chiptune elements that sonically reference the game's retro aesthetic. The album stands as a distinct piece of nerdcore music, translating a full video game experience into a narrative, song-based format.
