PaRappa the Rapper will begin kicking and chopping North American shelves this July as Sony Computer Entertainment America finally decided to import the video game. Seeing that the title's gameplay is heavily dependent on rhythm, we reckon that you should be familiar first with how PaRappa the Rapper is played.

Here's a video trailer titled Kick Punch Gameplay. It involves one of the few "lessons" in the game. All you have to do to make the rap sound and look good is perform some kicks, punches, and turn around every now and then. Miss a move and you will be sure to notice the change in the beat.

PaRappa the Rapper was created by musician Masaya Matsuura and graphic artist Rodney Grenblat under the development studio NanaOn-Sha.
