After missing him at Alcon we finally caught up with video game inspired hip-hop artist Mega Ran at the last stop of his UK / Europe tour.
It was great to hear more of his story. From how he started using video game influences in his music and caught the attention of Capcom, to how he used to be a school teacher in Philadelphia before his music took off!
The highlight of the show was the freestyle Mega Ran did on stage, taking random objects from the crowd and coming up with lyrics off the top of his head. Amazing!
While at Alcon this weekend I ran into hip-hop artist Mega Ran…though I have to admit I didn’t know who he was when he picked up a Samurai beanie hat from us!
Combining video games, hip-hop, soul and jazz is cool enough but even more interesting, he used to be a middle school teacher in Philadelphia. Being an engineer turned clothing brand owner I can appreciate the sudden turn in career path.
Check out his post-Alcon video to initiate yourself, and see if you can spot our Samurai beanie along the way.
