Mega Ran

R.I.P. to those killed at Va Tech. My prayers are with you and your loved ones.

About Me

I'm a Philly boy, born and raised, Out in the desert of Arizona teaching middle school, and coaching basketball.
I'm a straight up dude who loves God, hip-hop and good times.
Now this is the part where I speak in the 3rd person...
*clears throat*
Random can probably best be described as the Bruce Wayne of Hip-Hop. By day, he's a mild-mannered school teacher, and by night, he is a rabble-rousing, freedom-fighting, bad-guy slaying emcee's emcee. A 12-year rhyme veteran, Philadelphia native and Phoenix transplant, Random's bars are filled with all of the heartache, pain, triumph, tragedy and fun that come with everyday living. A graduate of Penn State University, Random speaks to the everyman, transcending race or class barriers. "I work all day and make music all night. I do shows on weeknights, and tour all summer."
Random's RAHM Nation debut "The Call," hit stores to rave reviews in 2006, and helped to establish Ran as one of underground hip-hop's up and comers.
Random's next release is the highly anticipated MEGA RAN theme project, combining thumping Hip-Hop beats and lyrics with the fun and style of videogame icon Mega Man. It is available now!.
