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

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

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.

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

"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

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

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

Who knew rats could be so groovy?

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

Cheezy Street had no right being that good

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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

this has my smoothing my whiskers

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

My drive to work is gonna be fun today.

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

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

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

OM WAHLKIN' 'ERE!!

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

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

RATS RATS RATS RATS

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

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.

youtube randomly be recommending me some heat

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

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

2:40 the craziest part of this song is not the rapping, its the music thats clearly inspired by shin megami tensei. so lovely.

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.

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

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

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 imagine "Traffic Jam," as the rat taxi speeding through the streets and trying to make it to his destination in time. Love listening to your music and continue making awesome stuff.

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

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.

All my rat friends are pleased with this representation

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

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!

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

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)

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

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.

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

This could've been a great concept for a PS1 game.

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

Rats… We’re rats… We’re the rats…

You ever just stumble on one of those albums that has NO BUSINESS being as good as it is? Rat Taxi. Louie, you cooked on this one.

That rat's fit is clean af

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!

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

I want this album to be an actual video game

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Man this sounds like an epic soundtrack from an legendary video game from childhood

I’m gonna need an entire PS1 game set to this music please, STAT

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.

CatJAM? Naw man, this is is RatJAM

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

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

I desperately need more music like Basement Boogie omggg

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

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!

Traffic Jam is fucking insane, holy shit. What a crazy bomb-ass opening to an album bruh

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.

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!

Have no idea who the artist is. I see Rat Taxi. I click it. Find one of my new favorite artists.

There is no amount of money I wouldnt pay to play a game of this.

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

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

It’s the rat race if you know what I mean. Everyone’s out to get some. The gouda. The emmental. Heck, Gorgonzola my friend. The cheese wheel, it’s what makes the world go round.

This should be the OST for a stop motion series, and every song is a new taxi fare, or snippet of the rat's personal life (finding a gift for his son's birthday)

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

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

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

I want to become a video game developer just so there can be a game for this fire soundtrack
