North American hip-hop artist Random AKA Mega Ran is well known on the music scene thanks to his cutting edge retro-styled beats. Since the creation of his alter-ego Mega Ran, this former teacher has become one of the premier artists in hip-hop’s nerdcore genre, released multiple albums, secured a licensing deal with Capcom and toured the world doing what he loves. Not bad for a guy who started out sampling video games for his own personal enjoyment.
While Random has a packed itinerary, we thought his upcoming UK tour dates deserved a special mention:
- 5th September - ALCon 2014 - Leicester
- 6th September - Centre for Computing History - Cambridge
- 7th September - The Roxy - Glasgow
- 9th September - Surya - London
- 10th September - Kawaii Cafe - Paris (yep, we know that France is not in the UK!)
- 12th September - Superbyte 2014 - Manchester
The gig at the excellent Centre for Computing History in Cambridge which is supported by the British IBM and electro-rapper MC iPod looks set to provide a great evening of uplifting musical entertainment.
We'll leave you with Mega Ran's tribute to Mega Man 9's fiendish Robot Master Splash Woman. Will you try to catch Mega Ran on one of his UK tour dates?

@cmk8 My thoughts exactly.
This guy's not as good as Dan Bull.
That's not Hip-Hop. It's called Nerdcore...
