A cover of Grunty's Lair from the classic Banjo Kazooie for the N64!

Grunty's Lair

The spooky hub world we've all grown to love thanks to its theme changing thoughout the game. Tho this is the OG adaptation

✨Gruntilda's Lair✨ [Remastered]

All games need a factory level at some point, though they're the ones we hate the most, aside from the painful water levels, and this level is no different. But its atmospheric and dynamic soundtrack will always make things better, hopefully..

Bad Witches by Mode 7 from the Gold Country mixtape. Available on Bandcamp and streaming on all music apps!

https://gamemusic4all.bandcamp.com/album/gold-country

Stank swamps, tight turns, booze, blunts, and bad witches in this tribute to the classic 1998 Nintendo 64 game by Rare. Also in tribute to the lesser known Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge and Banjo-Pilot for the Game Boy Advance. 17 raps and 23 remixes to collect along the way. Traverse fields, mountains, and racetracks in this bear of an adventure!

It ain't Banjo-Threeie, but Mode 7 is here to bring this bear
out of hibernation to remind everyone who the true beast
of the woods really is. Join Mode 7 as he connects on a fusion dance
with Banjo the bear to combine over a dozen skills and powers
to create the definitive rap album about Banjo and Kazooie! But actually just Banjo!

This album is for anyone who's discovered and enjoyed the original Banjo Kazooie since it's release in 1998. And for anyone who might have played those GBA outings as well, I see you.

Bad Witches (Grunty's Revenge)

Mode 7 is a rapper and writer from Los Angeles, California, taking hip hop to another level with his original style of clever but conscious game music inspired hip hop. Raised on a heavy diet of video games and west coast rap while growing up, Mode 7 now combines and reimagines his love of Super Metroid and Tupac into a unique sound all his own.

Mode 7's style covers a range of hip hop and subject matter. Emotion comes through strong in many ways on Mode 7's music, tackling subjects like love and heartbreak, mental health, inequality, and loss with his own irreverent, often comedic bars. Combined with Mode 7's extensive knowledge of video game history creates fun, fluid, and informative lyrics with a surprising amount of real world depth. 

Beginning his musical career in 2022, Mode 7 has already released several EPs and mixtapes via the net label Game Music 4 All, with much more on the way. Writing video game rap ranging from popular titles like Zelda and Super Mario, to niche classics like Contra and Chrono Trigger.

You can find Mode 7 rocking the stage at various conventions and events. Be sure to check here or at bio.site/mode7 for booking and event info, as well as the latest music!
