"Unknown from M.E."
Knuckles' Theme, Sonic Adventure 2
Album: Cuts Unleashed SA2 Vocal Collection
Arrangement by: Kenichi Tokoi
Lyrics by: Kenichi Tokoi (translated by Takahiro Fukada (old lyrics), Takayoshi Umeno (new lyrics))
Vocals: Marlon Saunders (vocals & chorus), Hunnid-P (rap vocals)
Guitar: Shinichi Moritake
Bass: Kenichi Tokoi
Additional credits:

Unknown from M.E. is a rap-like song and the theme of Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic Adventure 2. Another version of the song was used in Sonic Adventure. It is performed by Hunnid-P and Marlon Saunders. Unlike the version for Sonic Adventure, this song is much more programmed, with more electronic loops.

This song is one of the reasons why the game was given the "Mild Lyrics" warning (along with "Deeper" and "Kick the Rock!"), because Knuckles raps "ain't a damn thing funny".
