Paul Bunyan Mega Ran's epic album/ graphic novel is complete with the phenomenal wordplay and fantastic compositions from a slew of prducers like Richie Branson, K-Murdock, DJ DN3 and others. The title track says it all in the day of the life of the teacher/rapper/hero- Mega Ran! The production on this track is the highlight of the first volume of this unfolding saga. Favorite track: Language Arts (1st Day of School).

Jonathan Killstring This is an amazing Hip-Hopra album, and as far as I know, the only rap record to come with a side-scrolling video game alongside its release.

Good times. Favorite track: Language Arts (1st Day of School).

My name is Gregor, I live with my parents this year they're celebrating 20 years of marriage and my sis Greta? yeah, we get along pretty well but she's on lockdown, sort of like the city jail she plays the violin, a true virtuoso and i'm not an expert, but I just know so anyway I must've been having a bad dream I was sweating and wrestling like I was just tag teamed and after all the fussing and squirming I woke up transformed into a monstrous vermin looked in the mirror--I can't believe what I'm seeing an 8-legged bug, I used to be a human being! now this is a headspinner, I can't go to work like this, but can't stay home, I'm the breadwinner so I'm getting back in the bed, sooner or later we'll see that this is all in my head, i hope CHORUS I can't believe what has happened to me I'm a bug that no one is happy to see I don't think it could get any worse than this this, is... the metamorphosis I was awakened from my nap by a knock on the door it was loud; startled me so I fell over on the floor I heard--"Gregor, wake up!"--it was my boss the chief clerk his slogan is "you get vacation when you're six feet in dirt see I'm a traveling salesman, but he's just lazy Instead of coming here, he could've replaced me And so I ask, "yessir what do you want?" and he responded with "Open this door at once!" and so I did, and when he saw this grotesque sight, he screamed, and proceeded to run for his life and my parents and my sister were there too, too shocked to scream, but they shoo me right back in the room shut the door, and I just sit up on the ceiling where I spend the rest of my days, thinking and chilling thank God for Greta who brings me food and recognizes, vermin gotta eat too Chorus Since I'm an insect and I can't work it's about time for the family to prove their worth 'cause it's the only ay that we can keep the house we've got so my Pop gets a job at the valet lot Greta and mom work too so they got no time to bring me milk and those used watermelon rinds so if I need it, I guess I've gotta go for self I can go to the fridge, I don't need any help but as I got to the kitchen I heard a key in the latch it was Dad, in his hand were a bushel of apples; he threw each one at me, it landed on my back got stuck, made a gash, as I tried to make a dash to the room, i'm in pain, the only thing that could soothe me was Greta on violin, but she got new on me went back to my room, met my demise my family was relieved and went on with their lives...

You know I never thought I'd see the day when doin it the easy way, Would leave me pondering an escape from the very Dream I chased My favorite student knew it from the second that I'd seen his face That I would never see the place Again after I leave today, yet I tried to run the routine as usual, But when the realization that's its over gets through to you, there aint much that you can do Try to pretend, that I am not at the end But I ain't got any friends, So I gotta pretend, head on my desk, im nodding again but-- on everything I love and cherish I'd rather go out like Aerith than to watch my dream just perish, blame my parents I put my all in to them students put my all into the music Told myself I'd never sell 'em short as long as I could do it at a level higher - higher heard that a servant can't call 2 different people sire, sire so i had to spread my wings pack my things, chase my dream, break off clean, stuck in the groove cuz there aint no need to fight when there ain't nothing to prove, so walking away is your best move no more khakis and dress shoes calculated like chess moves Now or Never..lets move momma, know I love you but I gotta be a man did it your way, so I gotta do it mine left those childish ways behind, if I don't try, I'mma lose my mind Here goes.. Just what WE need, Another rapper,Telling kids, That they can do the same Leave a 9-5 and defy the odds, And if you work real hard you can rule the game That's foolish mayne, funny how you can give every-thing that you have, Tell your story, and still they get it misconstrued; only heard the good half I suppose, You know how the game goes, loot bring a playa much love In the club, buyin up all the champagne, high on designer drugs Cuz You wasn't there when I put in my notice, yet you wanna speak as if you know my motives and you wanna speculate on my new focus, but you wasn't ready when I was approached with this vision to transition out of this life and I reached out and you stabbed my back with a knife and you- told me I'd never succeed and I guess--that we disagreed on the look of success cuz you pictured money and yachts, running the block, while my plan was not to spit fire but to inspire kids to fly, whether they want to or not, Even if I fail this test Lord knows I tried my best, Carefully ordered my steps, But I still can't shake this stress Sold my land and all my dreams, Hit that field and sowed my seed Cuz this faith is all I need, So here goes everything i sowed the seed i plowed the field Took every chance missed opportunity and i crossed the sea i crowned the king sold all my land so here goes everything... do not remember my words, for they were only my thoughts and not reflections of what had truly been placed on my heart do not remember my lessons, cause whatever I taught came from a text on a desk and is just a miniscule part of what it means to exist, so remember my wish remember the courage it took for me to take such a risk do not remember my rhymes and what i wrote on a page and what i did on a mic, or i performed on a stage do not remember my beats, or remember my skill just remember my passion and how I made you feel how i bottled my emotion just to spill it in a verse how i did what everybody thought of once, and did it first get a nurse, cause I'm suffering and no one knows the cure but i do, and it's simple all I need is a little bit more more devotion more dedication more hunger more education cause stagnation is death and though I know heaven's watin when its over ---gotta say i did my all, lived my call, stood up tall, and did not fall, did not fall and no accolade can quench this fire i got inside call it farewell for now but no, it's not goodbye cause yo, the time has come, to lift my hands, close my eyes, spread my wings take that leap, for everything.. (everything? ) everything. the time has come, to lift my hands, close my eyes, spread my wings take that leap, for everything.. (everything? ) so here goes everything.. i sowed the seed i plowed the field Took every chance missed opportunity and i crossed the sea i crowned the king sold all my land so here goes everything...
