Phoenix, AZ (Top40 Charts/ Mega Ran Official Website) Hot off the heels of a successful Kickstarter campaign that funded his album, video game and comic book, Teacher/rapper
Random (aka Mega Ran) and his DJ DN3 are hitting the road all summer.
The Summer Sessions Tour will feature Ran doing what he does best, intelligent, captivating beats and rhymes. Random's high-energy set always contains some surprises, such as his mind-blowing freestyle, where crowd participation drives the length and theme of the song.
Ran will be joined by Open Mike Eagle, a
Chicago native, LA Resident whose melodic style has captured tastemakers like Pitchfork, LA Weekly and more. Later dates will feature Ran opening for nerdcore captain mc chris, and performing with Richie Branson and the band Powerglove.
Random's "Language Arts" Volume 1 is available now, as is Open Mike Eagle's "4NML HSPTL." The tour coincides with the 25th anniversary of Capcom's Mega Man game, so
Random designed a remake of the classic Mega Ran album that will be available on the road.
