ToeJam & Earl (トージャム＆アール) is a Sega Mega Drive action strategy game developed by Johnson Voorsanger Productions and published by Sega. Starring two extraterrestrial rappers who crash-land on Earth and must re-assemble the missing pieces of their spacecraft, it was first released in the United States in October 1991[6][7], and was generally well-received for both its charming parodies of 1990s urban culture and for its funk-inspired soundtrack. The success of ToeJam & Earl was followed by a sequel, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, and helped to establish the duo as one of Sega of America s earliest mascots.
