If you think I'm going to click on a video with the name ''RAT TAXI'' just because it has a mouse driving, you're right.

The rats in my garage have been quiet since this dropped

Fat KZfaq W for recommending this to me randomly out of the blue. Literally the first five seconds of this album and it was already clear that this is a instant classic. Even the album art is perfect. The vibes are immaculate.

Be honest, you knew this had to be a banger before you clicked on it

"Float like a butterfly, sting like BRIE" omg im dead

This sounds like the OST to a PS2 driving game about rats. I wish it existed.

"In this city, being a taxi driver isn't a slice of cheddar." I love how this music made me nostalgic for a game that never existed, but still an absolute blast.

I clicked simply for the Rat Taxi. I left with a life changing experience

Who knew rats could be so groovy?

This is the music Chuck E Cheese's cool uncle makes

Cheezy Street had no right being that good

using the voiceover of the guy narrating a lab rat navigating a maze but instead it's the rat cabbie navigating the city streets... that's genius

rise & shine is such a gentle track... it's like a private, tender reprieve from the hustle and bustle of rat city...

ratatouille but instead of being a cook Remy is involved in the plot of Drive

WE MAKING IT OUTTA THE PANTRY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥💯

This is a soundtrack in need of a game 🐀🚖🎮

Louie, please make a vinyl record. I’m a collector, and I’ve always really loved your music. I would buy this in a heart beat. You the best, Louie.

Cheezy Street lyrics: Mozzarella, I write rhymes in a box of Nutella Fight crime cuz I got no Burrata Did time cuz I caught some Feta Not good enough to sub for Cheddar I want cheese I’m a decent fella In a sewer don’t worry ‘bout weather Rat pack in your basement cellar, yeah Master Splinter taught me ‘bout cheese Cooking like Remy in Ratatouille Float like a butterfly, sting like Brie Trapped in a rat race tryna be free Parmesan, Cheddar Jack, even Colby is the only kinda currency that works for me Life gets hard from a lab to the city where the grass ain't green and the streets ain’t pretty (Oh-oh, that’s the jackpot, he’s got it. He wins the prize, an aromatic chunk of cheese, yum yum. Well, we let him try it over and over again, just tripping through the maze, and the more often he tries it, the quicker he makes the right turns, he gets to know his way around) Aww, Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi Got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi I got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me Yeah, the pesticide to the side won’t fool me I’m smarter than the average rat, you see Arise from the sewer, I’m finally free And man, I’ll be walking down Cheezy Street, yeah Aww, Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi Got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me Rat Taxi, Rat Taxi I got cheese on a trap lookin’ at me

"What will we do tomorrow, Brain?" "We will try to conquer the world, Pinky... BUT until then we listen to some groovy tunes."

Everything in this album has insane quality, production its crispy, bass sounded from underneat earth itself, composition and samples are on point, i feel some cassiopea references(traffic jam/home bass), some alfa mist too (Rise an shine), dnb and jungle beat (rush hour) and more. Dude the variety of styles and sounds is crazy. For being an album about a rat cabbie, i sure want to be in this ride listening to all his rat taxi stories. thanks for the great music :^D

this has my smoothing my whiskers

i would love to see you do a collab with Worthikids some day

I just learned the bassline for Home Bass and played it for 30 minutes straight, non-stop. Thank you louie for the bloody fingers and unstoppable funk groove

I'm a rat cab driver in a city and I didn't know I need this 🚖💎

RATS RATS RATS RATS

I just had the worst day I've had in YEARS, started listening to this album and immediately started smiling. Thank you louie!

Bro for real Rat Taxi just fuels my imagination and I can't stop thinking about the Rat Taxi adventures. I feel this is something very present in your work and I truly enjoy it. You make really special stuff, thank you so much for your work.

I like it when he says ‘rat taxi rat taxi’ & ‘cheesey street’🤌🤌🤌🐀🐀🐀🐀

I'm so envious of your ability to consistently, quickly, and seemingly effortlessly create such quality works of art. You have such a gift.

Something about the composition of these tracks almost gives them a similar "funky" feel to something you might hear out of Jet Set Radio (Minus the vocal sampling/mixing focus, of course), and I am all here for it. Banger after banger on this one.

I wish so bad that this was a game... You are a rat that drives a taxi in a big city and you get all kind of customers like old people, bank robbers...

This is exactly what Ratatouille would have been if Remy gave up the chef life and starred in Taxi Driver. What a masterpiece. You rock fam. I'd buy a vinyl immediately.

This is prob'ly Rizzo's favorite album. "Hey, Gonzo! Turn the volume up! This is my jam!!" 🧀🐀

YOU MAKE IT SO HARD TO PICK A FAVOURITE SONG IN YOUR ALBUMS ALL OF THEM ARE JUST TOO GOOD but if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be rise and shine it feels like eating something with jelly texture on your way to an appointment when the sun hasn't come up yet but it's still kind of light out

This is the most engaging concept album I have ever listened to. This thing should be in the damn louvre. Someone get the melon on this

Bro this is so good i started crying at Basement Boogie for no reason...

My drive to work is gonna be fun today.

OM WAHLKIN' 'ERE!!

just commenting to say i’ve listened this a lot the past few months and to thank you for making this! even though i doubt a physical release i pray for one

I've listened and re-listened to this album a bunch in the last month or two. So many catchy melodies. Love your work!

louie zong you absolutely blow my mind. so prolific and so creative and so talented and you just CHURN this stuff out with consistency and extremely high quality. nothing but love

15 seconds in, fucking KILLER Louie!!! You gotta have one of the best hit rates of "Hey guess what it's a banger and you know it immediately" out of any artist I've ever listened to.

Took me down from an anxiety attack. Talk about chill vibes. Rise and Shine and Recess both instant classics to me. The whole album is a work of art and I'm so happy to have stumbled upon it.

I've listened to this album like a half dozen times at this point. I don't know how you encapsulate 10 different vibes for "Rat Taxi" and together they become greater than the sum of their parts. Love this album.

This is one of the biggest bops that you've ever dropped Louie, every track has a perfect vibe and those chord changes (OH my goodness). Plus the collaboration with Dante NK was just amazing!

New Louie zong album on my birthday 🐸 it's a groundhogs day miracle

Look I know it's only 8 days old, but I need more of this.

That's how you sell an album. Two word title, the album cover is said title. I saw Rat Taxi, I read "Rat Taxi" I click on Rat Taxi. I really enjoyed my time with this music, Favourite tracks were Rise & Shine, Home Bass, and Recess really surprised me, it took a while to get into it but it grew into something so much more as it went on, keyboards gave me streets of rage vibes which is NEVER a bad thing. I clicked on a whim and will be listening to this one again.

I clicked because the whole aesthetic captivated me and I didn't know what to expect music-wise, but 3 seconds into the album and I must admit if there ever was a rat taxi it would 100% sound like this

This is without a doubt my favorite Louie Zong album (previously it was Funky Friends). I love how the vibes shift a lot, one moment you’re listening to something inspired by Jet Ser Radio, and the next you’re listening to Dumpster Disco’s amazing blend with chiptune elements that sound like it could’ve come from a video game, even a hip-hop esque track which I wasn’t expecting. And yet switching up vibes makes listening through the album refreshing imo. Every song in this does not miss. Louie does not miss.

That rat's fit is clean af

The video had been in my recommended for a while. Didn't feel like it at the moment, but finally clicked it and oh boy I'm blown away!

2:40 we’re going into the sewers for this one.🔥🔥🔥🔥

Much like the sewers of mystery, the lore of Louie's rat-related music deepens

youtube randomly be recommending me some heat

this album sounds almost exactly like the kind of music ive been dying to hear that plays every once in awhile in my head, and to think this is my first impression of your music after seeing this pop up below flying beagle thank you

dumpster disco is my absolute favorite, theres just something abt it that tickles my brain so good i can listen to it 9 times non stop without it getting repetitive (also i find it ironic how traffic jam seems to be at a faster bpm than rush hour, when yknow, traffic jams are so goddamn slow and tedious)

Rats… We’re rats… We’re the rats…

sunday morning exactly 10 am, i boot up my pc and hop on youtube, this is the first thing recommended, thanks youtube, thank you Loui Zong

Uritaxi 🐀🚕💎

MOZZARELLA I WRITE RHYMES IN A BOX OF NUTELLA 🔥🔥🔥🗣️

Oh I love the cover art, this is going to be sweet

A while back I had to call a cab company in Spain and the waiting jingle was something reminiscent of this, so you know you nailed the vibe with this

"Honey, stop. You are not rat taxi driver!" Me:

All the songs in this are so good. I love the general vibe of this album. Phenomenal work all around!

I have had exactly the correct amount to drink to jam to this, amazing work man

Rat Taxi takes payments in cheese and subway floor pizza only. Great album!

Home Bass is just so mmmmmmm. I love it. This whole album is *chef's kiss*. Well done 😎

Not only is it rats, it's a fucking banger album as well. Phenomenal!

Feels like the soundtrack for a Isometric Crazy Taxi but each level is like a Maze that becomes more complex. So not only do you need to get people to where they need to be but you'd also need to navigate a Maze. (competitive co-op?) Could add in some roguelite elements to upgrade your taxi or increase your time or get better tips.. (introduce more rat/animal friends that got different gimmicks like mario kart) Someone make it happen!

Turns out Louie Zong is what I was missing in my life 🕺

Im always so impressed with your creative skills, very inspiring wish I had delved into all these things earlier in my lfie

came across this randomly, and have only listened to 1:30 min of it, and I'm completely sold! complete banger! thank you KZfaq algorithm!

All my rat friends are pleased with this representation

This is immaculate. Funky, tight, solidly head bopable.

I don't know what I was expecting from rat taxi, non the less I'm happy I got here 😄

super duper cool! very reminiscent of NAMCO’s critical velocity and ridge racer type 4 OSTs and a bit of takanaka as well

MY GOD what have i stumbled upon? Only on track 3 "Basement Boogie" and I'm absolutely loving the vibe of this album. This track takes the cake so far.

yo , this shit rocks, i loved every disc scratch, cheesey rhyme, grungy bass line. thank u

this is huge, i love when I fall in love with a cover and then with the album

The artwork got me in....and the music made me stay. This is peak stuff right here!

I can tell this is going to be my favorite album ever. It hits all of my musical interests and does it in a way only louie could, then turns it up to 11 on top of that. It's a masterpiece while also being called Rat taxi and both of those things bring me great joy on this mediocre day.

Damn, all I saw was the cool artwork. Wasn't expecting the album to be THIS bumpin'

It's 5 am now and I can't sleep. I have an exam and an essay due in 2 days and this is helping me stay productive. Thanks Louie

If "Ratatouille" and "Taxi Driver" were a movie.

Never heard of you but I clicked on this because the thumb and title caught my eye. I've been listening to a lot of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard lately. Also listen to tons of casiopea and funk. Algo knows what it's doing, because I effing love this album. Feels OLD in a good way. Already added it to my routine, I drive for a living. I can see me cruising to this already.

Love it when both the album cover and the music are great.

I've had this in my watch later for 6 months. I now regret the last 6 months of my life

It brings back beautiful memories of moments in my life that never existed.

GODDAMN I am so excited about this. I play a city druid (think sewers, rats, cockroaches, houseplants) in a modern dnd game and this is going on the playlist YESTERDAY

I wasn't expecting this to be this good. Thanks KZfaq algorithm. Bangers.

Dumpster Disco is just incredible

My favourite part is when the rat taxi said: "It's rat taxing time!"

I desperately need more music like Basement Boogie omggg

I love this :> -Ron, The Almighty Rat King

Saving a new album to a playlist of mine now. The funky rats that are in a jazz band made my day. :]

Nothing but bangers as per usual

I mean, if you want a crazy taxi rat remake, then this artist already just created the whole soundtrack.

The flute because of the pied piper is so genius. Also getting Earthbound Fourside vibes from sure but also so much more, you are a master at your craft Im truly amazed

Not just the great music but also that cover make it a 11/10
