“Random's proven he can excel in storytelling, punchlines, poignancy,
freestyling and, well, pretty much any other way you can measure an MC.”
- LA Weekly
A former teacher and freestyle battle champ, Ran's sharp and witty lyricism,
cutting edge retro-styled beats and super positive outlook have resulted in
unbelievable accomplishments since trading the chalk for the microphone.
Ran now travels the globe delivering encouraging tales and face melting
performances.
