Gaming music has certainly come a long way, as I can recall countless themes which I enjoyed on a plethora of titles - Castlevania series, Final Fantasy themes composed by Nobuo Uematsu; hey, I even found Sonic and Mario themes cool. As the gaming community evolved and matured, so did our tastes in music. Today's titles offer an assortment of opportunities as well for popular music artists to feature their labels which include but aren't limited to Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, KRS-One, and GZA. It's clear that the business of music as we know it is undergoing a digital revolution and this is where Beatz 4 Geekz enters center stage as being at the cutting edge.
