Philly Rapper Raps Up The Life of a Philly Sports Fan in New Song
PHILADELPHIA, PA
As anyone who's lived in Philly long enough knows, life as a fan of Philadelphia sports teams is full of ups and downs, and mostly downs. With the 76ers tanking, the Phillies and Flyers going nowhere for a while, and recent key injuries to a few Eagles, this season may shape up to be similar to most.
Philly born former teacher Raheem Jarbo, who records hip-hop under the name Mega Ran, perhaps best known for his "Jeremy Lin Rap" that hit scored viral success plus ESPN, USA Today coverage in 2012, is back with a new track that's less celebratory, but just as heartfelt.
With references to The Curse of Billy Penn, Allen Iverson's famous "Practice" rant, the demolition of Veterans Stadium and the 2008 Phillies World Series team, and a backing beat comprised of Bill Conti's famous "Gonna Fly Now," this rap song is sure to make the average Philly sports fan feel good, or maybe want to fight.
Ran is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to distribute his documentary and new album, information on that is here:

Forever Famicom

Yo no other throwback song can ever come close to Mega Ran's spot on Dream Master! This is my life to a tee. Nerdcore word to the pocket protector. The beat is ill, I need a thermometer.

Forever Famicom DLC 3
by Mega Ran & K-Murdock (Bits & Rhymes)supported by 8 fans who also own “The Philadelphia Way (Single)”
Another fine album, another fine collection of games being sampled. From the sweeping loop of the tutorial stage of Yoshi's Island, to the opening of Bubble Bobble (and is that Led Zeppelin's When the levee breaks drum sample I hear?), to the somewhat haunting chopped and looped sample of Shadowgate, and last but not least the subtle sampling of Batman's first level, this is the most pleasing of the Forever Famicom trilogy. Oh, and that MONSTER track is SICK. Good work to Ran, K and Mark Pheonix! PS I feel you guys' pain on Ninja Gaiden! it IS a hard game, but oh-so-satisfying when you beat it! Peace! -Aaron
