SEGA and Sumthing Else Music Works have announced the release of the MADWORLD official soundtrack today.

The soundtrack contains all 20 original songs from the game, composed by Naoto Tanaka in collaboration with various hip hop artists, such as OX, Doujah Raze, Sick-YG, Bandy Leggz, Wordsmith, S.O.U.L. Purpose, and Optimus.  If you remember the game, you'll also remember the lyrics are pretty explicit.

"There are a total of 20 tracks on the MADWORLD soundtrack and they are all original songs that we produced especially for the game," said composer and soundtrack producer Naoto Tanaka. 

"I would make the backing tracks (or the beats) and then we would hand them off to these talented artists to get their performances. It was a pretty big challenge, especially as it was my first time with this kind of collaboration, but I think luck was on my side and it turned out to be extremely successful."

I can definitely vouch for the soundtrack -- good beats.
