If you are an internet music junkie, chances are you know of Philadelphia born rapper, Random (aka Mega Ran). The video game connoisseur/Rapper/Producer/Teacher has been making a lot of noise in the blogosphere ever since the release of his popular 2007 MegaMan inspired album, Mega Ran. His humble attitude and nonchalant approach to his rhyming allows his messages and flow to swirl through your senses like smoke from Mega Man's arm cannon. Finally, second hand smoke that's actually good for you.
Earlier this year, Random received even more acclaim when he connected with Panacea producer K-Murdock on their video game inspired album, Forever Famicom. The nostalgic roller coaster ride through 8 bit yesterdays and the technologies of today got hip hop gamers to press pause on both their controllers and iPods and contribute to an online fund that would allow Random and K-Murdock to turn Forever Famicom into a DVD movie and vinyl version of the album. The overwhelming response from fans-- the $2,500.00 goal was reached in 5 days and the pot now bubbles over at $3,000.00 with 20 days left in the campaign-- has been so inspiring that Random felt he needed to give something back.
Heroes, Volume 1 features ten tracks that sample some of Random's favorite musicians of all time: Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, The Jacksons and spotlights a rising artist really coming into his own. If you haven't peeped Random before, now is the time.
