... named Random. Yup, that’s his name! Anyhoo, in a muscial climate where everything is commercialized and dependent on “hits”, Random continues to do his own thing - and that is, make real music. And on top of that, he produces his own beats, coaches, and is a teacher. Just when I thought this guy couldn’t get any cooler, he puts out a mixtape called “Mega Ran”, which is him as Mega Man, rapping and beating Robot Bosses one verse at a time. Granted, this mixtape has already been out for quite some time but it has been on heavy rotation on my MP3 player and laptop recently. From the epic banging Intro to the mellow groove of Aqua Soul and on to the guitar riffs of Boss Battle Metal Man featuring The Megas, the mixtape is simply sick. Here are some of my favorite tracks:

Track 03 - Bubble Man [Produced by DN3]
Track 04 - Aqua Soul [Produced by Random]
Track 09 - Boss Battle Metal Man [The Megas REMIX]
Track 11 - Rock & Roll [Produced by Domingo]
Track 12 - Final Battle [Produced by Samik]
Track 13 - Grow Up [Produced by Random]

There are 13 tracks in total. I actually had to stop myself from just typing the whole playlist, . Random and friends use classic 8-bit Mega Man sounds and remixes them with hip-hop and sound clips from the original Mega Man cartoon. This is a must-download for any Mega Man fan [free also]. Check out the tracklisting, cover art, and Random’s MySpace page after the jump.

EDIT: I just found out today that he released the instrumentals as well! Oh man, this is too awesome.
EDIT#2: Well, the instrumentals aren’t true instrumentals in the sense that it is only the beat. You can hear the adlibs, and all the songs from the mixtape aren’t included in the instrumental pack. Meh, it’s just as well.
