If Metroid’s soundtrack was lofi hip-hop
Samus & Chill is a tribute to the music of Metroid, Nintendo’s beloved sci-fi video game series. Producer Tune in with Chewie transforms the dark, atmospheric Metroid soundtrack into laid-back lofi hip hop, featuring soft piano chords, smooth vintage synths, and expressive guitar. Samus & Chill is a carefully crafted homage to the music of Metroid.
