       About Random
    RANDOM FACTS:
  • Random is not rich.
  • Random is not a gangsta.
  • Random is a schoolteacher by day, emcee by night.
  • Random is here to make a difference.

    Video: Random "Push" (dir: John Colombo)
    Half-teacher, half emcee, all hustle. A 12-year rhyme veteran, Philadelphia native and Phoenix transplant, Random speaks to the everyman through creative stories and concepts.

    It all started with "The Call," which hit stores in 2006 to rave reviews, and helped to establish Ran as one of underground hip-hop's up and comers.

    Video: Random - "Fly"
    "The Call" has been utilized in university curriculum and has propelled Random all over country, selling thousands of copies and encouraging young, old, rich and poor alike.


    Random's follow-up move can only be described as something Random. In 2007 he released the critically acclaimed "Mega Ran," album, which combines hip-hop, rock and many more musical genres with the memorable music of the classic Mega Man video games. This album got him into the good graces of the game's creators, Capcom, who offered Random full support of the project, which opened him up to a completely new fan base, in addition to his growing underground following. Now you are just as likely to catch Random spitting his clever, poignant rhymes at an anime convention as at an underground Hip-Hop spot.
    Okayplayer called "Mega Ran" 'one of the most creative releases this year,' and Random's music has gone on to be profiled by media outlets such as Wired Magazine, IGN, Complex Magazine, Blender Magazine and more.



    Video-Random- Grow Up

    The past 9 months has seen Random level up in ways unimagined, achieving press coverage in local and national publications (Blender, Phoenix New Times, Game Developer, Wired), participating in the final SCRIBBLE JAM MC Battle and performing alongside national acts all over the country, while maintaining full time employment as a middle school teacher.

    RANDOM OPINIONS:
  • "Original and Refreshing...nice heavy cadence." -Black Thought (The Roots)
  • "Random picks can win...The Call is the Powerball of hip-hop" -the Catalyst magazine
  • "Random is a dope emcee...He's a natural on the mic and is not afraid to address whatever's on his mind." -RapReviews.com
  • "well-rounded and impressive...nothing short of remarkable" -Urban Reviews
  • "Random is an emcee with a nice voice and nicer flow." -Okayplayer.com
  • "I honestly believe that Random's The Call represents another brilliant innovation in the world of hip-hop." -HiphopLinguistics.com
  • "Random is more cohesive than his name suggests, seek and find one of the best rappers of the early 21st century." -John Book, The Run-Off Groove
