It's All A Game

It's All A Game is the debut studio album by American rapper and record producer MC Zappa. It is notable for being the first Bit-Hop album in history.

Background
It's All A Game evolved from material that MC Zappa conceived during and after the making of 🎮💯🔥, in 2015. In fact, "Gamer's Anthem", "Hardcore", and "The Beast Named October" were among the first tracks he ever conceived.

MC Zappa was unable to record throughout most of 2016, but he spent the time compiling drum breaks and samples, writing songs, and refining the burgeoning subgenre of Bit-Hop.

In mid-June of 2017, during a trip to New York, MC Zappa obtained a DAW from his great-uncle, which allowed him to finally start recording material again. Throughout the rest of the year, he continually worked on the album, producing new material just as fast as he recorded it.

Lyrics
The lyrics, all penned by MC Zappa himself (with the exception of "Level Up"), address various topics. The eclectic subject matter ranges everywhere from playful affection for female gamers to vexation at the the US government's supposed disregard for privacy.

Singles
Two singles were released from the album: "The Beast Named October" and "Video Dames". "The Beast Named October" was released as the first single on December 20th, 2017.

"Video Dames" was released as the second single on January 8th,

2018.
