PaRappa the Rapper by Mike Sholars – Boss Fight Books

  Official Release Date: June 6, 2023 ISBN: 978-1-940535-31-9 200 pages   In the mid-90s, a Japanese prog rock star, an American visual artist, and their small team of collaborators made a colorful cartoon hip hop rhythm game that looked and played (and kicked! and punched!) like nothing else on the market. Initially dismissed by some as a curiosity, PaRappa the Rapper was a hit with players that would eventually sell millions of copies, receive two sequels, and inspire entire genres into being. And for author Mike Sholars, PaRappa left a lasting impact.   Featuring exclusive interviews with creators Masaya
