Fat RUclips W for recommending this to me randomly out of the blue. Literally the first five seconds of this album and it was already clear that this is a instant classic. Even the album art is perfect. The vibes are immaculate.
Ok, hear me out. What if Rat Taxi was a '90's adventure game developed by Sierra and these were originally midi level songs. It was about a rat cabbie who, in the search of a guy who bilked him on a fare, uncovers a plot involving a gang selling a drug called 'blue cheese' and a plan to assassinate mayor Gorgonzola?
Bro here's the real question: Why not make it yourself? even if it takes years. You clearly have an audience. just need a little time and a little sharpening and a whole lotta patience, I'm working a full time job, a side gig and balancing gamve dev with gameplaying and socializing rn, but I'm making weekly progress even if its minscule because I'm learning as I go. Just let us know in five years when its done, k?
"In this city, being a taxi driver isn't a slice of cheddar." I love how this music made me nostalgic for a game that never existed, but still an absolute blast.
@@JackdotC the ending of the film has him slowly climb up to the lady's face and rub his snout on her lips as an attempt at a kiss, then he jumps over to the other guy and starts fucking burrowing into his eye and eats his brain
That's how you sell an album. Two word title, the album cover is said title. I saw Rat Taxi, I read "Rat Taxi" I click on Rat Taxi. I really enjoyed my time with this music, Favourite tracks were Rise & Shine, Home Bass, and Recess really surprised me, it took a while to get into it but it grew into something so much more as it went on, keyboards gave me streets of rage vibes which is NEVER a bad thing. I clicked on a whim and will be listening to this one again.
Bro for real Rat Taxi just fuels my imagination and I can't stop thinking about the Rat Taxi adventures. I feel this is something very present in your work and I truly enjoy it. You make really special stuff, thank you so much for your work.
I'm very particular on the vinyls that I'm willing to spend money for but I would definitely love to own the vinyl to this and stick the album cover on my wall.
I was legitimately surprised to learn this wasn't a sleeper hit video game, but actually just a fire album. Can you imagine how sick a game this would be? Like crazy taxi but with animals and bizarre quests. Maybe you uncover a cabbie conspiracy, that goes all the way to the top- or bottom... (because you're rats)
You legit got a whole main character concept. Cheezy Street kind of outlines the protagonist as an escaped labrat (it's hard from the lab to the city, smarter than the average rat you see, the audio sampling of the scientist) who is using the conditioning/training they got from the experiments to navigate the 'maze' of the city in pursuit of cheese and freedom. Like, there's genuinely a *lot* that you could do with that.
I just learned the bassline for Home Bass and played it for 30 minutes straight, non-stop. Thank you louie for the bloody fingers and unstoppable funk groove
This is exactly what Ratatouille would have been if Remy gave up the chef life and starred in Taxi Driver. What a masterpiece. You rock fam. I'd buy a vinyl immediately.
I figured it out In a game where you work as a rat taxi driver, you earn money by driving other rats, while investigating and taking down a local Mafia ruled by a rat called Fromaggio 1. Traffic Jam - Reveal trailer, MCs Main Theme Music, Chase Runs from Mafia 2. Cheesy Streets - Story Mode Trailer 3. Basement Boogie - Drive, Basement District (Level 2) 4. Rise & Shine - Appartment (Game save, Calls to/from NPCs, Settings) 5. Rush Hour - Urgent Client (Any level) 6. Home Bass - Garage, Tuning Shop, Car Dealer 7. Dumpster Disco - Dumpster Disco (Level 3) 8. Recess - NPC dialogues 9. Park Drive - Park District (Level 1) 10. Sewer Swing - End Credits
YOU MAKE IT SO HARD TO PICK A FAVOURITE SONG IN YOUR ALBUMS ALL OF THEM ARE JUST TOO GOOD but if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be rise and shine it feels like eating something with jelly texture on your way to an appointment when the sun hasn't come up yet but it's still kind of light out
Cheezy Street lyrics: Mozzarella, I write rhymes in a box of Nutella Fight crime cuz I got no Burrata Did time cuz I caught some Feta Not good enough to sub for Cheddar I want cheese I’m a decent fella In a sewer don’t worry ‘bout weather Rat pack in your basement cellar, yeah Master Splinter taught me ‘bout cheese Cooking like Remy in Ratatouille Float like a butterfly, sting like Brie Trapped in a rat race tryna be free Parmesan, Cheddar Jack, even Colby is the only kinda currency that works for me Life gets hard from a lab to the city where the grass ain't green and the streets ain’t pretty (Oh-oh, that’s the jackpot, he’s got it. He wins the prize, an aromatic chunk of cheese, yum yum. Well, we let him try it over and over again, just tripping through the maze, and the more often he tries it, the quicker he makes the right turns, he gets to know his way around) Aww, Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi Got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi I got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me Yeah, the pesticide to the side won’t fool me I’m smarter than the average rat, you see Arise from the sewer, I’m finally free And man, I’ll be walking down Cheezy Street, yeah Aww, Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi Got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi I got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me
Everything in this album has insane quality, production its crispy, bass sounded from underneat earth itself, composition and samples are on point, i feel some cassiopea references(traffic jam/home bass), some alfa mist too (Rise an shine), dnb and jungle beat (rush hour) and more. Dude the variety of styles and sounds is crazy. For being an album about a rat cabbie, i sure want to be in this ride listening to all his rat taxi stories. thanks for the great music :^D
Something about the composition of these tracks almost gives them a similar "funky" feel to something you might hear out of Jet Set Radio (Minus the vocal sampling/mixing focus, of course), and I am all here for it. Banger after banger on this one.
It’s the rat race if you know what I mean. Everyone’s out to get some. The gouda. The emmental. Heck, Gorgonzola my friend. The cheese wheel, it’s what makes the world go round.
15 seconds in, fucking KILLER Louie!!! You gotta have one of the best hit rates of "Hey guess what it's a banger and you know it immediately" out of any artist I've ever listened to.
louie zong you absolutely blow my mind. so prolific and so creative and so talented and you just CHURN this stuff out with consistency and extremely high quality. nothing but love
This is one of the biggest bops that you've ever dropped Louie, every track has a perfect vibe and those chord changes (OH my goodness). Plus the collaboration with Dante NK was just amazing!
I've listened to this album like a half dozen times at this point. I don't know how you encapsulate 10 different vibes for "Rat Taxi" and together they become greater than the sum of their parts. Love this album.
I clicked because the whole aesthetic captivated me and I didn't know what to expect music-wise, but 3 seconds into the album and I must admit if there ever was a rat taxi it would 100% sound like this
Took me down from an anxiety attack. Talk about chill vibes. Rise and Shine and Recess both instant classics to me. The whole album is a work of art and I'm so happy to have stumbled upon it.
@@jakesho1877Pull yourself together mate. Fucking crying over Rat Taxi, come on. Sunlight and exercise mate, will sort you right out. Maybe a martial arts class. 💪🏻
here I was complaining about my RUclips algorithm not showing me enough random bangers... then this wise guy pulls up in his preem yellow cab banging this, I couldn't resist the aura.
This is without a doubt my favorite Louie Zong album (previously it was Funky Friends). I love how the vibes shift a lot, one moment you’re listening to something inspired by Jet Ser Radio, and the next you’re listening to Dumpster Disco’s amazing blend with chiptune elements that sound like it could’ve come from a video game, even a hip-hop esque track which I wasn’t expecting. And yet switching up vibes makes listening through the album refreshing imo. Every song in this does not miss. Louie does not miss.
dumpster disco is my absolute favorite, theres just something abt it that tickles my brain so good i can listen to it 9 times non stop without it getting repetitive (also i find it ironic how traffic jam seems to be at a faster bpm than rush hour, when yknow, traffic jams are so goddamn slow and tedious)
I think it's a more frenetic pace to represent the /feeling/ of being in a traffic jam. You're right that traffic is slow crawl but inside the taxi I'm bugging out slamming my paws on the steering wheel and pulling my whiskers out
MY GOD what have i stumbled upon? Only on track 3 "Basement Boogie" and I'm absolutely loving the vibe of this album. This track takes the cake so far.
7:12 am. August 2nd. 2024. I found this on my RUclips for you page amidst a time where I’m going through spiritual changes and stuff. That’s got nothing to do with rat taxi. It’s just a vibe. The sun is out
just commenting to say i’ve listened this a lot the past few months and to thank you for making this! even though i doubt a physical release i pray for one
Imagine a 2D pixel game where you play as a rat taxi driver racing through NYC dropping people off at stops with this as the soundtrack for the game. Basically Initial D but with rats and in NYC Basement boogie for SURE is tutorial music Rush Hour is time trial against your nemesis Home Bass is a cut scene Dumpster Disco is for when you upgrade your car / race against that super funky eclectic boss Sewer Swing is credits
Feels like the soundtrack for a Isometric Crazy Taxi but each level is like a Maze that becomes more complex. So not only do you need to get people to where they need to be but you'd also need to navigate a Maze. (competitive co-op?) Could add in some roguelite elements to upgrade your taxi or increase your time or get better tips.. (introduce more rat/animal friends that got different gimmicks like mario kart) Someone make it happen!

Be honest, you knew this had to be a banger before you clicked on it
Yeah.yeah I did
Algoritmo, como eles fazem isso?
Indeed
I clicked it by accident but I am happy
I knew it only from the cover
The rats in my garage have been quiet since this dropped
theyre all takin a taxi to the rat party
LITERALLYYY
ay man this funny as fuck
Quite

This just happened to me. God bless the algorythm.
RUclips been randomly recommending some bangers lately, always a pleasant surprise
brothers in random music. the only time ill say thank you youtube
Fat W for youtube recommending me a channel with 1m subs
DUDE YES same thing happened to me!!
I like it when he says ‘rat taxi rat taxi’ & ‘cheesey street’🤌🤌🤌🐀🐀🐀🐀

@Akira-Aerins good on ya man as someone who does some game design stuff in my free time it's tricky to want to keep going amd actually make progress
using the voiceover of the guy narrating a lab rat navigating a maze but instead it's the rat cabbie navigating the city streets... that's genius
Is that a known video? I´d like to see it just to enjoy the song even more
@@elGonhoI believe it is some behaviorism study
"In this city, being a taxi driver isn't a slice of cheddar."
I love how this music made me nostalgic for a game that never existed, but still an absolute blast.
Someone has to release it anyway
It's a top-down GTA 2 clone that plays like Crazy Taxi. I can visualize it now..
@@blakejames9743 I'm considering developing this...
Same, bro 😂

If you think I'm going to click on a video with the name ''RAT TAXI'' just because it has a mouse driving, you're right.
he's a rat
Facts. Gives me vibes i don't quite understand yet and need to develop further
Guilty as charged

Mice and rats are different species of rodentia.
I clicked simply for the Rat Taxi. I left with a life changing experience
This is my allotment of seratonin for the next week or two, will be on replay till I get sick of it, very life changing haha

this has my smoothing my whiskers
ratatouille but instead of being a cook Remy is involved in the plot of Drive
True!
he's cooking up bangers
"I cook"

or even the rat race, if you will
Mr freeman
Yes!! I totally agree 😍
What are the odds that your profile is a rat commenting on a rat album. Propaganda!!...ratoganda!!
@@THE_ONLY_REAL_WAFFLE hell yeah!
I just had the worst day I've had in YEARS, started listening to this album and immediately started smiling. Thank you louie!
Louie, please make a vinyl record. I’m a collector, and I’ve always really loved your music. I would buy this in a heart beat. You the best, Louie.
I'm very particular on the vinyls that I'm willing to spend money for but I would definitely love to own the vinyl to this and stick the album cover on my wall.
Agreed, I'd be proud to own this on vinyl
Second that. This would be a gem
Agreed, this seems like the highlight of any collection
A yellow splatter, cheese-lookin’ vinyl would go so hard, would buy
This is the most engaging concept album I have ever listened to. This thing should be in the damn louvre. Someone get the melon on this

I just learned the bassline for Home Bass and played it for 30 minutes straight, non-stop. Thank you louie for the bloody fingers and unstoppable funk groove
I saw a rat and taxi emoji, suspicious looking mouse cover, and 1.2M views. The horns upfront sold me. Incredible
bro unlocked my chidlhood memories playing rat taxi with all of my friends, rat taxi is truly timeless
This is exactly what Ratatouille would have been if Remy gave up the chef life and starred in Taxi Driver. What a masterpiece. You rock fam. I'd buy a vinyl immediately.
I'm so envious of your ability to consistently, quickly, and seemingly effortlessly create such quality works of art. You have such a gift.
This is the music Chuck E Cheese's cool uncle makes

Cheezy Street lyrics:
Mozzarella, I write rhymes in a box of Nutella
Fight crime cuz I got no Burrata
Did time cuz I caught some Feta
Not good enough to sub for Cheddar
I want cheese I’m a decent fella
In a sewer don’t worry ‘bout weather
Rat pack in your basement cellar, yeah
Master Splinter taught me ‘bout cheese
Cooking like Remy in Ratatouille
Float like a butterfly, sting like Brie
Trapped in a rat race tryna be free
Parmesan, Cheddar Jack, even Colby is the only kinda currency that works for me
Life gets hard from a lab to the city where the grass ain't green and the streets ain’t pretty

This is without a doubt my favorite Louie Zong album (previously it was Funky Friends). I love how the vibes shift a lot, one moment you’re listening to something inspired by Jet Ser Radio, and the next you’re listening to Dumpster Disco’s amazing blend with chiptune elements that sound like it could’ve come from a video game, even a hip-hop esque track which I wasn’t expecting. And yet switching up vibes makes listening through the album refreshing imo. Every song in this does not miss. Louie does not miss.
Much like the sewers of mystery, the lore of Louie's rat-related music deepens
This is exactly what i hoped "RAT TAXI" would sound like.
I am amazed.
0:55 Ron Burgundy coming in on the flute HARD!!!!! I love this whole dang album
Hey Aqua Lung!
2:40 we’re going into the sewers for this one.🔥🔥🔥🔥
dumpster disco is my absolute favorite, theres just something abt it that tickles my brain so good i can listen to it 9 times non stop without it getting repetitive

Oh I love the cover art, this is going to be sweet
sunday morning exactly 10 am, i boot up my pc and hop on youtube, this is the first thing recommended, thanks youtube, thank you Loui Zong
MY GOD what have i stumbled upon? Only on track 3 "Basement Boogie" and I'm absolutely loving the vibe of this album. This track takes the cake so far.
This is like the 4th Louie Zong album ive just randomly stumbled upon and listened to pretty much the full thing.

I have had exactly the correct amount to drink to jam to this, amazing work man
Not only is it rats, it's a fucking banger album as well. Phenomenal!
Pure bliss. This is what Sam&Max neighbor is listening all day.
I've listened and re-listened to this album a bunch in the last month or two. So many catchy melodies. Love your work!
After listening to a song about how it feels to be a caterpillar, I knew this was going to be another banger
Imagine a 2D pixel game where you play as a rat taxi driver racing through NYC dropping people off at stops with this as the soundtrack for the game. Basically Initial D but with rats and in NYC
Basement boogie for SURE is tutorial music
Rush Hour is time trial against your nemesis
Home Bass is a cut scene
Dumpster Disco is for when you upgrade your car / race against that super funky eclectic boss
Sewer Swing is credits
Feels like the soundtrack for a Isometric Crazy Taxi but each level is like a Maze that becomes more complex.
So not only do you need to get people to where they need to be but you'd also need to navigate a Maze. (competitive co-op?)
Could add in some roguelite elements to upgrade your taxi or increase your time or get better tips..
