In 1997, Parappa appeared on the PlayStation game console and started the music genre craze. Now he's back in Parappa the Rapper 2 with new hip-hop sounds and catchy lyrics produced by Masaya Matsuura, creator of the original Parappa the Rapper. Both new and familiar faces, from famed New York artist Rodney Greenblat, join Parappa on his quest to rid his town of the Evil Noodle Syndicate. The original rap star's back in the house ready for the new year!
