Zaid Tabani Returns to Fighting Game Community Roots with New Track “Wednesday Night”

Over the years, Zaid “RedrappeR” Tabani has done his fair share of channeling the Hadou into creative energy, cranking out tracks encapsulating the games we hold dear. You may recall his last fighting game community-inspired song, “Umeshoryu”, which went live right around the time Evolution 2014 kicked off. When he let loosed the track on the world, he did so with a warning that it would be his last FGC-related piece for a while.

Fans of Tabani’s tracks didn’t know how long that while would be, but we can all take comfort in the fact that it has come to an end with release of his newest work, “Wednesday Night.” With such a title, it’s easy for listeners to approximate what the song will include: references to Alex “Calipower” Valle, Peter “Combofiend” Rosas, Evo Moment 37, Ultra Street Fighter IV, and the list goes on.

But the song isn’t all fun and games. When we spoke to Tabani, he described the piece as “deeply personal,” and, upon listening, it’s easy to hear why. Give it a listen yourself, and feel free to let us know what you think in the comments. But before you load it up, do note that some of the lyrics are NSFW.
