No cultural emblem is as relevant to the millennial generation as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy blue rodent and his many friends and enemies (both official and unofficial) represent being cool, being rad, and living & learning. Toronto rap collective Waycool—composed of rappers Kyle Wildfern, Jordan Cassius, and Josh Dillon—understand this, which is why their new single is just called "SONIC" presumably to allow the most timeless swag in gaming to unfold across the beat.It's not just Sonic that makes an appearance on this track though. The hook rhymes "Rick and Morty" with "Ricky Bobby," and Josh Dillon raps both "Dead 'em off early, make them a Krillin" and "green tall like Luigi" in his verse. It's quite something to behold and we haven't even got to the line about the Gamecube's mini-disk. Listen to "Sonic" below.Phil is on Twitter.
