PHOENIX, AZ – Random, aka Mega Ran is ready to claim the title of hardest working man in hip-hop after releasing his new mixtape “TeacherRapperHero Vol 2: The 2 Week Notice”.

Ran was known as everyone’s favorite teacher-slash-rapper, but he quit the teaching profession this month, citing a need to “spread his wings.”

Career suicide? Maybe. But Ran is determined to go down swinging.

Fresh off the runaway success, “Black Materia,” which was based on the hit video game Final Fantasy VII, Ran returns to his roots on this one, speaking on the flaws of the education and justice systems, but maintains the fun and the video game references that have made him one of the standout underground hip-hop artists of this decade.

Guests include Philly legends Reef the Lost Cauze and Icon the Mic King, the AZ supergroup Writer’s Guild (Roknowledge, RoQy TyRaiD, Mr. Miranda and Pennywise–rapping over Metroid nonetheless),int80 of Dual Core, and even award winning composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica and more) and is mixed by DN3, who also produces and rhymes on the project.

The touching first single “Limitless,” and it’s video are here.

Also, catch Random’s adventures as an educator turned musician in the weekly web series “Life After Lesson Plans.”

in 2006, after hearing of Dilla’s death of Lupus, not even 2 weeks before I released my first album The Call, I was pretty devastated. I dedicated the release party to J Dilla, and I called in some favors with pretty much everyone I knew to help create a tribute mixtape.
I haven’t mentioned it in quite some time, but if you haven’t already peeped it, please check out The Dilla Project, featuring myself, DN3, the whole RAHM Nation crew, Ohmega Watts, J-Live, Rashid Hadee and more.
