PaRappa the Rapper is coming to the PSP in North America this July with four player multiplay and eight playable remixes.

Developed with musician Masaya Matsuura and New York artist Rodney Greenblat, the funky rhythm game first debuted on the PSOne ten years ago. A PSP version hit Japan last year.

The U.S. version of the game will be a remake of the original with the ability to play up to three other people head-to-head in ad-hoc match-ups, wirelessly share a demo level and download eight additional playable remixes.

If you missed the flat graphics and raptastic music of this game when it first hit, you've got to pick it up this time around. Personally, I can't wait. I sure hope they release new music down the line though.

H to the E to the R to the O
And here comes your hero
Ho! Here we go!
P to the A to the R to the A
Parappa's the name
I rap everyday
