About Me

RANDOM FACTS:
Random is not rich.
Random is not a gangsta.
Random is a schoolteacher by day, emcee by night.
Random is here to make a difference.
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.
Random's RAHM Nation debut "The Call," hit stores to rave reviews, and helped to establish Ran as one of underground hip-hop's up and comers.
"The Call" has received accolades and praise that very few independent albums have garnered, and has propelled Random all over country, selling thousands of copies and encouraging young, old, rich and poor alike to
Heed THE CALL.


Random's production company, RandomBeats Music and parent label RAHM Nation Recordings have collectively released the highly anticipated "Mega Ran," which combines hip-hop, rock and many more musical genres with the memorable music of the classic Mega Man video games. Okayplayer called "Mega Ran" 'one of the most creative releases this year.'
Next up for Random is the "Patches and Glue" EP, which mixes the poignant spirituality of "The Call" with the fun and creativity of "Mega Ran."
