I usually do not like Hip Hop but Random is a great artist. I first heard his song "Grow Up" being used as the intro for the Podcast Extra Lives and since then i have been a fan. If your a fan of hip hop or video games you should by this album.
Awesome

I can say without a doubt that Random's "Mega Ran" is far and away the greatest appropriation of 8-bit sampling in any genre, hands down. Not only do the recognizable melodies from what is arguably the greatest 8-bit soundtrack of any game blend seamlessly into his beats, lyrically he manages to utilize the Mega Man mythos as the perfect metaphor for his own trials and tribulations. Ran manages to cram enough video game references to satisfy even the geekiest among us (whether it's namechecking Leeroy Jenkins or reminiscing about getting 100 lives in super mario "kicking turtles on a step") without resorting to the self-absorbed geek pride that is embarrassingly prevalent in the lyrics of far too many nerdcore lyricists. Not that I would ever lump Random in with that genre, as "Mega Ran" is a bit of a departure from his usual forte. Even those who simply love dope beats and smart lyrics will find plenty to enjoy here.
