This is an instrumental playlist put together for the 30th anniversary of the video game franchise Sonic The Hedgehog. I re-created some of my favorite soundtracks as a labor of love. I wanted to include more but then I wouldn't have dropped it on time for the anniversary! So be on the lookout for more of my faves 🙂

These games have had quite an impact on my life, as they are responsible for sparking my initial interest in music as a child. After that, I was just so fascinated by any composition that caught my ear. 

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this project is the personal meaning it has to me as a composer. Sonic has come a long way in 30 years and has done an awesome job keeping the interest of millions of fans to this day. The relevance to me is how I've been tinkering with this stuff for 12 years at this point in time and realized the significant progress in my craft. 

Before we knew it, Sonic's first movie was released and has become a box office hit. This playlist is a tribute to longevity! To show how long of a way I have come after all these years as well.

Kruzin’ Beatz™️ is a Michigan based Composer, Songwriter, Beat Maker and Producer. 

Prior to being introduced to the world of music production, he was always fascinated by the overall style and nature of hip hop which was frequently played by his older bother growing up. The gritty, hard hitting style of beats just seemed to appeal to him in ways that were not yet understood. 

Kruz started his musical journey in 2009. His unique sound is the product of inspiration from producers of a variety of different styles like J Dilla, The Alchemist, Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, Kanye West, Drumma Boy, Zaytoven, and Three 6 Mafia. 

Other genres like music by Michael Jackson, Nirvana, and the Moody Blues have had a hand in his craft as his musical taste developed over the years. Let’s not forget about select soundtracks used in the video game franchise Sonic The Hedgehog and a handful of others.
