Mega Ran
Musician
Phoenix, AZ
Biography:
Random, aka Mega Ran, aka RandomBeats... Teacher, Rapper, Hero. Guinness World Record Holder.
When LA Weekly said that Ran's "fanbase and niche audiences are growing at a rate not seen since Tech N9ne," they meant it. A former middle school teacher, Mega Ran (formerly Random) blends education, hip-hop and gaming in amazing new ways, penetrating the farthest reaches of the galaxy with his unique rhyme style and electric performances.
Ran cut his teeth in the city of Philadelphia as a moonlighting emcee and producer, performing, freestyle rapping, producing and later engineering at a studio. After relocating to Phoenix, competing in the Scribble Jam emcee battle championships and taking an early exit, Ran almost quit before he was even started, when a creative lightning bolt struck, and a fire was lit.
Video games, comic books and pop culture, all such huge factors in Ran's upbringing, would begin to seep their way into his musical output, and the results were stunning.
