Final Fantasy – The 3-6 Chambers
The award for strangest album mix this year goes to super producer 2mello. This talented producer combined his love for rap and Super Nintendo Japanese Role-Playing games which culminated into the final piece of his SNES remix trilogy.
Final Fantasy – The 3-6 Chambers combines the beloved Final Fantasy VI (III – SNES) soundtrack with Wu-Tang clan’s masterpiece, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). This odd combination highlights the genius of the producer, and truly showcases his work as love for both mediums.
The eastern-mysticism inspired rhymes of the RZA, GZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, and of course, the Ol’ Dirty Bastard are wonderfully complemented by Nobuo Uematsu’s compositions. Tonally, and lyrically, 2mello manages to weave a narrative throughout the album, detailing the rise and fall of the evil Kefka.
