The first Final Fantasy remix Mello's ever done, and he's quite proud of it! He took this rarely-heard track from FFIX and gave it a 90's West Coast/Dre feel (which it already carried quite a bit in the original). Hope you enjoy!

A TALE OF DEAD EQUIPMENT AND A SICKLY COMPUTER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In late January, a computer decided to start drifting towards the light, so to speak. This five year old behemoth had been blue screening its way through the last half of its life, giving his owner (MadHatter of Scrub Club Records) a few good heart attacks when backups weren't current.
As things started getting worse, Hatter decided he would maybe start a fundraiser to get a new computer and recording setup, as the former was dying of old age and the latter was entry level to begin with years ago.
However, during these plans, MadHatter's mic preamp decided to bite the dust prematurely.
Without the ability to record, this fundraiser must begin early so he can continue on with the much anticipated 8Bit Bullshit 2. Hatter's current computer (that he uses for all Scrub Club business and design) is also badly in need of replacing, so this whole shebang is to bring him up to speed and back into the game.
THE CLASSIC 8BIT BULLSHIT
----------------------------------------------
The original 8Bit Bullshit, released in 2007, was one of the first NES-themed Nerdcore Hip Hop releases and one of the most widely known. It's been downloaded over 15,500 times! "Ganon Slyer," the hit Zelda track on the album, has hundreds of listener-made music videos on YouTube.
What made the release unique? Each track was from the perspectives of the main characters rather than the artist himself, and catchy choruses were put to the original 8 bit NES tunes so that when you play the actual game, the words are stuck in your head.
Putting all of his other current projects on hold, Hatter has decided to put his full effort into the long-awaited sequel to the album - 8Bit Bullshit 2: MadHatter's Revenge.
8BIT BULLSHIT 2: MADHATTER'S REVENGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only will the quality be light years better than the classic 8Bit Bullshit, Hatter is also going back to revisit some games that weren't in the last release that all deserve a Hip Hop twist.
The listeners spoke up about their favorite NES games, and he listened!
The proposed games / tracklist for the sequel:
1. Skate or Die
2. Mega Man 2
3. Super Mario Bros. 2
4. Ninja Gaiden
5. Double Dragon
6. Battletoads
7. Metroid
8. Castlevania 2
9. Contra
10. Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
11 Karnov
12. Deja Vu
Also, there will be a badass Photoshoot / Photoshop of each game / track, and you can download each one as a printable cover / poster!
AWESOME, RARE REWARDS AWAIT YOU

BIG RIG DONATION
Only one donator gets this reward. It's the Big Kahuna, as it were. If you snag this reward, you will get MadHatter's previous computer to fix up as your own as well as his current recording equipment (StudioProjects B1 microphone, busted Presonus TubePRE preamp, Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum sound card, and pop filter) - all of which were used to record every single bit of MadHatter audio since the original 8Bit Bullshit album! Hell, you can swab the DNA off the pop filter to clone him! Whatever works! Record on the very same gear Hatter did. Please note that you must be in the Austin, TX area or come pick it up there to bring this reward home.

WHY NOT USE KICKSTARTER?
------------------------------------------------
Does this look like Kickstarter? Well, it's sort of like that. WePay is way more trustworthy than Kickstarter, though, and funds are not held until the end of the drive - they come through instantly! So there's no worrying about whether this will pass or fail. This continues until it succeeds!
As you may know, Scrub Club Records runs only on donations, so this is your chance to truly help MadHatter out. In return, you will get to unlock rewards depending on your donation! We're talking some killer stuff. Check out the side bar for incredible rewards you can secure!
A NOTE ON LIMITED EDITION REWARDS
---------------------------------------------------------------
The only thing WePay is missing is the ability to make products limited upon checkout. Therefore, orders will be treated on a first come, first serve basis. When limited edition items run out, we will remove them from the rewards section. There's no indicator here on the page of how many will be left, so act fast!
As always, at the bottom of the page, there is also a blank donation option, so you can give whatever you would like if the rewards aren't your thing.
WHAT ABOUT STRETCH GOALS?
----------------------------------------------------
If this fundraiser goes over the needed amount, I will gladly donate the rest to the label. That means... Anything over the amount I need goes directly to helping all of our artists!
IN CLOSING
------------------
Thank you for everything you do. You all are the gears in our great machine, and we would be nothing without you, MadHatter definitely included. We love y'all and want you to know that every single thing you do is appreciated.
