About this project (from K-Murdock)

Well party people, here we are again! This time myself and Random (bka Mega Ran) are back and need your help as we are trying to take our “Bits & Rhymes” live show to Europe as we were recently invited to perform at the famed London Anime Con which goes down THIS coming July 30th and 31st! The caveat was we had to raise the money to get over to Europe ourselves which is why we are back on Kickstarter

Ironically, both Ran and I have passports that have never been stamped ;( and feel like this would be a great way to expand the Forever Famicom experience we started last year stateside as there’s many fans abroad who don’t get to see us live… namely in the UK! Money we raise will go toward plane tickets, lodging and definitely memory cards for our digital cameras AND depending how much we raise in the end possibly bringing along extended music fam like Lost Perception, producer of the Final Fantasy 7 tribute project Black Materia, and Random’s longtime dj/producer DN3 to help make this experience more epic!

On top of performing at the Con, we would make the most of our European excursion by videotaping the whole trip to create a DVD (including any other performances we manage to do while in the UK, sightseeing, etc) which will then be given to those who back us at a certain level. We have even decided to do more fan requested commission tracks a la the last campaign.

Other perks for supporting this campaign include advance copies of BOTH our forthcoming projects: Ran’s TeacherRapperHero Pt. 2 mixtape (mixed by DN3) my new EP- The Ronin, which both won’t be out till summer! PLUS Ran and i have even decided to give away the actual microphone and sampler we used to record/create ALL of the songs for Forever Famicom to a pair of lucky backers!

We even got packages that will bring the Bits and Rhymes experience straight to you with us performing LIVE at your house/apartment/basement/backyard/office… and maybe we can even get in a few matches on Halo, Modern Warfare or Marvel vs. Capcom… pick your poison

AND we even have a “ULTIMATE FAN” package for 1 lucky backer where you can travel with us to London to be a part of this experience too!!! that means you’ll be in the aforementioned DVD we are making!!!

No matter what level u get in on, any support is appreciated and in the end helps us get closer to you all- the fans!

VERY IMPORTANT to note that if we don’t raise enough money to meet the stated goal ($2500), then any and all money WILL NOT be withdrawn from your account!

So it’s London or bust yall!

Ran, K-Murdock, Lost, DN3

also peep myself and Mr. Miranda’s video for Wednesday!

w00t.

…. But I can’t get your PSN working, sorry.

So when Lost and I were interviewed about Playstation: The Official Magazine like 2 months ago, I had no idea when or if it would make the magazine. But, it’s there…and a full page!

Big ups to @jmob4, who not only told me about it, but was nice enough to scan it for me..and you.

Beats going to your local Barnes and Noble and ripping the page out. And no, I’ve never done that to get cheat codes.

Wow. If you’re one of the cats still snoozing on Black Materia, go here and order the album with a SIGNED limited edition poster (less than 40 remain) for a special price:

Listen hard, then come back to let me know how you feel.

More great news! My Bits and Rhymes partner K-Murdock put together a music video for “TYFL” with clips from our shows at SXSW, PAX and C2E2. Peep.

also, I dropped a new single, like yesterday. In case you slept, get some Kia Music.

NEW SONG!

Peace!

One week ago, the duo decided to involve the fans in the next evolution of the highly popular project, by developing a DVD movie and vinyl version of the album. They asked the fans to donate through Kickstarter, and the fans answered…big time.

In just 5 days, the project has reached its $2500 goal, and is now over $3000 with over 20 days remaining on the campaign.

In response to the overwhelming fan support, Ran decided to release a special album for free, entitled Heroes, Volume One. The 10-track album features production by DN3, EOM, CJ and Ran himself, sampling records from music icons like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, The Jacksons, Stevie Wonder and more.

Now, I’ve collected most of our interviews on Forever Famicom, as well as some bonus stuff, so you can check those out here.

Random and K-Murdock interview with the Find (pt 1)
In the last interview, I said: I want this album to be a bridge, for hip hoppers and for video gamers. For video-gamers who never thought they were cool enough to like hip hop, and for hip hoppers who thought they were TOO cool to acknowledge video games that aren’t called ‘Madden’ and ‘Call of Duty’. To me that’s really the extent..

1Up.com Podcast interview with Random and K-Murdock
K Murdock: It started about three years ago. To give you some backstory about how I met Ran, I was working at XM Satellite Radio as an audio engineer and on the side I hosted a show called Subsoniq that plays underground and progressive hip-hop. In the mail I had gotten a package with two CDs: The Call and the first Mega Ran album. Ran didn’t know at the time that K Murdock from Subsoniq was also K Murdock from the group Panacea. I loved both the albums but I was flipping out because I had never heard anyone do anything like Mega Ran. I hit him up on Myspace and said we should collaborate.
