At the top of 2016, STEVE AOKI, Rich The Kid and iLoveMakonnen surprised the blogsphere with “How Else.” Taking a new twist, the original track (released on June 29)-with its catchy ‘Whip It’ hook– struck a chord from the likes of The Fader, HipHopDX,Rap Radar and HotNewHipHop who wrote, “…it makes effective use of Makonnen yelling, ‘How else am I gon’ get it?’ Rich and Makonnen’s snappy trap punchlines go surprisingly well alongside Aoki’s wonky bass drops, and ‘How Else’ should have some crossover appeal come festival season.” Elsewhere, Complex it as”…a mind-bending electronic experience that actually sounds great with Makonnen and Rich’s verses.”

Last week, STEVE AOKI launched his first mobile game, BEAT BOMB, developed by Cerulean Games and designed by AOKI and RedVonix. The match 3 style mobile game for iPhone and iPad is designed in the classic AOKI aesthetic that fans have come to love throughout the years. BEAT BOMB is available as a free download on the App Store and features a soundtrack of 10 songs including classic AOKI hits as well as new exclusives, which are unlocked as players advance through new levels of the game. BEAT BOMB also contains a trophy room and consists of four galaxies of over 50 stages (more to be added monthly).
In the game, STEVE AOKI in an all new chibi form, along with the player have been lost in deep-space due to a storm of Space Cakes! It is now up to both to find their way back to safety. In order to do so players will have to burst exploding cakes to take out asteroids, clear space dust and also make the elusive BEAT BOMB itself for some major cake smashing. Unlock galaxies to meet other characters displaced by the Space Cake storm in a continued effort to make your way home.
STEVE AOKI’s BEAT BOMB can be downloaded now for free on iPhone and iPad.
Steve says of the game: “I’m an IOS gamer so it was about time that I released my own iOS game. Ive been developing & road testing this new game Beat Bomb & I’m extremely happy with the way it came out! I wrote a song that you can only download from the game as well. Download for free and see how far you can get!”
