The BROOD (freestyle)
inspired by The New Day's amazing Halloween costumes, I decided to get on some classic Attitude Era stuff and pay respect. Check it out!As a bonus, I attached the track I wrote to as well. let me know what ya think!
Deliver The Message!
The Story:Played the game, LOVED it, then got a message from the composer, Rainbowdragoneyes, who wanted to collab. He sent me this SICK track and I wrote to it, which became "Deliver The Message." The track features 1-Up Creative Mind Frame, who dropped a crazy verse after playing and loving the game as well. Enjoy!RDE titled this track “Leap Of Faith” because it occurs in the tower of time right before you take the leap of faith, when the game first transitions from 8 to 16 bit. It's so worth playing if you haven't yet!
X-MEN! The Animated Series

Games, Games Games!
Inspired by my last trip to Japan, I wrote a new track to Jay-Z's Girls Girls Girls beat, and it's pretty self explanatory I think, haha. Enjoy!Also included and attached below: some exclusive video from Japan, including behind the scenes video shoots for the "Sumimasen" song, which will not probably be out for public consumption until next year.Also, some video of a secret (there was no filming allowed) Megaman section at Tokyo Game Show. bad boys!!All for you, just for supporting the kid. Thank you so much!!
SUMIMASEN (new song)
as I prepare to journey back to the motherland for a whirlwind trip, i thought this was the perfect song to debut. Myself and Alfred Banks appear on it, it's called Sumimasen. It's fun. The beat is done by a great producer/DJ I met a few months ago in Florida, Lio Maks.Now, what does this word mean??there are so many meanings, that this word is called the #1 most important word to learn in Japanese for travelers. Here's some info on that. ALSO a video explaining the lyrics and inspiration are here:https://youtu.be/vcbqtAE0IyEarigato...
Metal Blades Freestyle
'cause it's sharp... and OP.Enjoy!By the time you guys hear this, I should be in Chicago for Starrcast/All In. if you're out there, come on out to our show!
GREEN(Path)
Still playing Hollow Knight but my favorite stage theme is Greenpath by far. K-Murdock flipped the beat and we made this one a good old RandomBeats triple play, with a guest verse by Last BeNeVoLeNcE! Enjoy!Green is a color that has so many symbolic meanings: wealth, life, growth... we put all that together in what green means to us, over this great beat. Thank you for the support! More to Come!Ran
Breakdown: "Time" by Ran and Joe
Here's the breakdown, how it happened. Learn how Joe November, OC Remix and even Nate Dogg helped to create this track. Enjoy!
TIME (Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
Heyo! back again! Here's a new jam we just finished up produced by my dude Joe November, a friend I met at a show in San Antonio. The verses are all about the tenets of the Triforce: Verse 1 is Power, next is Wisdom, then Courage.The second verse is by my dude Jermiside, who always manages to drop the most excellent verse right on time.I reeeeeally like this track!Check below for the link to the song and instrumental. Next post will be "the making of." Thank you again, stay strong, wise, and brave :)RanPS: This weekend I'll be i...
The Making of "GOLDEN"
How it all came together. For the lover in you. <3Thanks for watching/listening!
GOLDEN.
This track was written for CEO Daytona, and I'll actually get to debut it by RAPPING it when the Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi) come to the ring live during NJPW this weekend!

CALIFORNIA on my mind.
This one turned out to be pretty serendipitous. I'm heading to Cali for E3, and I wrote a song about going to Cali for rest and relaxation with my homie MC LARS. As with most stories I tell, snags happen and hijinks ensue. It's produced by my man Tunesmith who did "Your Favorite Song." Here's the track, and instrumental is attached below, enjoy!And if you're in LA, come and see me TONIGHT at Hack the Multiverse!I'll be with LEGENDS the Minibosses, and Kirby's Dream Band and many more.AND THERE's A TOUR AFTERW...
GODHOOD (GoW #2)
Music is therapeutic.So I'm still playing God Of War, but it inspired a slightly different vibe for this track. It made me remember all the times I had with my father.. which were very few. It also encouraged me to reach out to him, which I did. And maybe I'll even send him this song. Thank you guys for listening, this one was a very therapeutic track to put together.The instrumental is by Kazuhiro, who also did the great Cuphead and Undertale tracks I did. He sampled a tune from the soundtrack called "The Reach of Your Godhood,"...
What Game To Stream Next?
You guys get the power. I try to stream at least 3x a week, mon, wed, friday. Here's what I'm playing, and if you have another suggestion, let me know!As of now on my PC, I only have the speed to handle up to 64 bit non-cd systems, or I can stream direct on my PS4. My second monitor set up for Switch is pretty janky....only works about half the time.so my choices are games on:NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Genesis, N64 or PS4.So let me know!Thanks yo!-Ran

Who's Ready For MANIA?!?!
I *almost* didn't do one of these this year.but I did, for yall. I had quite a few folks ask about it. so this year's Mat Mania is different. We didn't just take wrestler's theme songs and flip them, this time I took the actual themes of wrestling...good guys, bad guys, turning, keeping kayfabe, and then made original rap tracks about those things, as well as included tracks I'd featured on or really liked, about our great sport. The project features some of my favorite folks: Schaffer The Darklord, Teek Hall, RhymeTime and ...

ARE YOU READY? (CHILL PENGUIN)
My dude YonLi sent me an amazing beat (he tends to do that; he sent the beat that became "CHURCH" as well) and with Megaman's 30's anniversary coming, I figured it was time to get back in the lab and work on some Megaman jams. Played a ton of Megaman X on SNES Classic and decided it was CHILL PENGUIN that would get the first treatment.Enjoy "Are You Ready!"https://audiomack.com/song/mega-ran/are-you-ready-chill-penguindownload and instrumental right below.Once again thanks so much for the support!

LISTEN:https://www.audiomack.com/embed/song/mega-ran/still-dreamingMaking Of Video:https://youtu.be/vmPoxzuIHRsThis past weekend, I had a moment in Orlando, FL to unwind after a GREAT tour, and after listening to some great beats from U'Nique Music, (who just dropped a GREAT jazz-hop mixtape--check that out!) myself and my buds EyeQ and O_Super sat and wrote a new song, with an assist by Chuck Silver of the band Sci-Fried, who recorded the session for us AND played bass on the track, which samples a game that was SO instrumental to me, Poke...
