Bits, Rhymes, & Life

Random, aka Mega Ran broke new ground in the nerd rap game when his Mega Man-inspired rhymes became officially sanctioned by Capcom. Since then he’s continued to evolve; tackling not just new game franchises, but partnering with sound samurai, K-Murdock to form one of the most formidable teams in indie rap. In this debut episode, Ran tells the story that was briefly discussed on the landmark Black Materia album’s ending — one of leaving his job as a teacher to chase the dream of being a full-time musician– but the story definitely wasn’t a smooth storybook-style tale. Join us for an epic real-life story of dreams, desire and deception on Episode One: I Quit!
