I have to believe that some of ye olde bloglin faithful remember Shadowrun. I loved that game, and while I never made it past the mountain excursion where you go off to find the elves, I certainly spent countless hours over several years attempting to beat that game. All fruitless, but the Shadowrunners Click has been a much more fruitful incarnation of the name.

I originally linked up with Himself — the rapping half of the duo, who is accompanied by Froskees on beats — on twitter. We have some mutual friends, and so that was how it got started. Over the last couple of months I’ve been peeping their tunes and I gotta say, that these dudes are on some shit. They definitely have their own sound, and their own aesthetic.

The fact that Himself is Mexican, while relatively unimportant when it comes to the music, is also a draw for them. There aren’t a lot of Mexican rappers, and there certainly aren’t many #BASED Mexican rappers. They’re not on some normal shit, these are dudes from the next wave of hip hop I keep calling out. So, peep some of these tunes, and download their album 808 Bit Revenge. And be sure to check out their site, and get familiar because you’re about to be seeing a lot more of them.
