I love Hip Hop and I love the Secret of Mana soundtrack. Not once did I imagine those two loves crossing over somehow, but this remix makes it so. It combines jazzy Pete Rock/Tribe Called Quest style pianos with a brilliantly flipped sample from Secret of Mana. It’s pretty awesome.
I think what I really love about this remix is that the Secret of Mana sample is prominent — it’s clear and recognisable, but enough for you to recognise how it’s being subverted and made completely fresh by all the different elements surrounding it. I love this track. Absolutely love it.

Pete Rock is a god. Also up there is Premier, Madlib, JDilla.
Wow….
What a fantastic track! I will be adding some scratches to this tonight 🙂
I also just noticed that 2 Mello released all the instrumentals from Chrono Jigga; what a guy.
Love this Mark!
Could you send me a link or mention any remixes I could chase on other SoM remixes? Love the soundtrack!

Secret of Mana is one of my best video game memories ever!
