I can’t get this hook out of my head. Who knew video game hip-hop could be so catchy? Random is giving away 80% of the album online for free. If it’s all as good as this song, though, it’ll be worth paying for.

Hi. I'm Chris Miller. Professionally, I'm a graduate student in my fifth year of a Computational Biology PhD program, where I use large scale integration of genomic data to help understand the aetiology of cancer.
In my free time, I'm a techie, a Linux user, and I enjoy exploring the intersection of technology and culture. When not in front of a computer, you'll find me playing ultimate frisbee, jamming on my guitar, talking politics, or enjoying the great outdoors.
Since there are too many Chris Millers in this world, I added my middle initial to get this domain name. I long ago gave up the pretense of web anonymity that many people cling to. To me, this is the natural corollary of all that "be yourself" advice you got in grade school.

I would advise you to check out Falco Lombardi — The Girl Oceanic is a good jumping in point. From there, set Last.fm to find similar music (maybe seed it with Combat Dave or Breakbeat Heartbeat) and enjoy.

by-the-way, I’ve never heard this song before…up until about an hour ago when I left that comment on your post below this one -but I should’ve never clicked on it because now its been stuck in my head too!
(side note: maybe more rap songs should be put in videogames…is that why it has clean lyrics? I’m impressed…I don’t think I’ve ever heard rap with decent lyrics)

Maybe I just played too much Nintendo as a kid, but I love 8-bit synth sounds. And the Mega Man games had some of the best music.
Did you catch that the sampled Splash Woman track is from the 2008 Mega Man 9? It’s available on Wii Ware, among other sources.
