Black Materia : The Remake 2LP SIGNED
Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumTen years in the making, Black Materia: The Remake is a hip-hop tribute to Final Fantasy VII.
Black Materia: The Remake is a double-disc album, pressed on heavy-weight splattered black vinyl, enclosed in a gatefold jacket. This released contains exclusive artwork and masters created specifically for the vinyl release.
Featuring twenty-five guest producers and rappers, Black Materia: The Remake takes listeners on a hip hop journey through Final Fantasy VII. The role-playing game centers on a group of heroic revolutionaries fighting to bring down Shinra, an energy company that’s destroying the planet for profit.
Black Materia: The Remake retells the video game’s acclaimed story through narrative lyricism and powerful performances. The beats and backing tracks feature memorable moments from Nobuo Uematsu’s acclaimed Final Fantasy VII score.
For Mega Ran, Black Materia: The Remake is the culmination of a more than decade-long career-making hip-hop tributes to video games. Following the viral success of his original Black Materia album in 2011, Ran left his job as a middle school teacher to pursue music full time.

Ilyas:
watch me transform just like Vincent
I'm so fly.. I'm like an airship cuz my engine
keeps revvin to the heavens got my ultimate weapon
you better watch where you steppin',
i know no limits mate, watch me use this limit break
you need a higher level you can't imitate
sit back, watch us attack, let me demonstrate
try to react, the slow spell left you minutes late
ta-ta, tootle-loo, bye bye, disintegrate
been feeling great as of late (why's that?)
is it the materia or is it the cake?
i'm sure my gamers relate, we want mo' hoes
but we dont call em chickenheads, we say cho-co-bos
Its I and I like Nintendo's new logo
i put wack rappers in a cage and tell em go-go, ha
Away, they got nothing to say
like text talking in the RPG's back in the day
CHORUS
Absolute, think you can stand the avalanche
grab a sword, level up but family you don't have a chance
we got the superior materia, beware of the various terrors we prepared for ya clear ya area it gets scarier
you think you can stand the avalanche
grab a sword, level up but family you don't have a chance
we got the superior materia, beware of the various terrors we prepared for ya clear ya area it gets scarier
Random:
I been real, when i'm with Il, spit skills, get gil
light like mythril, blowin like a pinwheel
live frm the lifestream, tighten ya flows
or get tossed in the cycle of souls
only the foolish try, the rest know full well its suicide
we monsters, who traveled here on the last lunar cry
prototype of the auracyte, archetype
parasite, get ya data right, or get shattered like
time, im a lyrical rhyme slave
erase you from my digital mind wave, and start the crime wave
a project G, when the meteor falls
saw the future without reading your palms
I red 13 chapters and no rappers come after
Ran and Il blow like mah-ko reactors
keep the sister ray equipped to spray
command counter with the ultima, bringing an end to ya day, hey!
CHORUS
Absolute, think you can stand the avalanche
grab a sword, level up but family you don't have a chance
we got the superior materia, beware of the various terrors we prepared for ya clear ya area it gets scarier
you think you can stand the avalanche
grab a sword, level up but family you don't have a chance
we got the superior materia, beware of the various terrors we prepared for ya clear ya area it gets scarier
Maja:
First of all, when I open up my mouth I shut it down
Until the light is overhead and darkness all around
All encompassing, I’m functionin’
I’m summonin’ dungeons of cunning creatures until I got ‘em running
They running, I’m huntin’
The rappin’ avalanche; I cast quickly
I pass cats like sands through hourglasses sickly
From ash I rise, a hack and slash surprise -
Phoenix-downin’ is the only option unless you stoppin’
I’ll give you round of applause
If you gather up all of your Gods
So I ain’t gotta work that hard
I got gall; I’ll run up and slaughter ‘em all
It don’t really matter who you gon’ call, call ‘em all
I’ll run up and slaughter ‘em all
And I bet it’s gonna get crazy, AMAZIN’, Blazin’ I’m MAJA
When you see that Zelda emblem hangin’ round my neck I end ‘em
Suspend ‘em, I blend ‘em; My final fantasy is never-endin’
My life’s dream was just to overdose on LifeStream
I’m frightenin’ when I’m weildin’ the mic It’s like I’m Lightning
CHORUS
