Mega Ran and the Super Soul Bros join together in this special MAGWest concert to bring top notch rap lyrics and funk/jazz instrumentals into an unforgettable mixture of nerdcore and VGM.
Mega Ran "Mega Ran is Your New Favorite." - Noisey "When it comes to marrying video games and hip-hop...no one does it quite like Mega Ran." - HipHopDX "One of the most prolific and innovative rappers of the 21st Century" - Phoenix New Times "Ran writes songs that are easy to embrace, thanks to his unrelenting charm" - Bandcamp
Today, Mega Ran is no longer a teacher by title, but maintains a rigorous touring and recording schedule, traveling the world to entertain and educate through the gift of rhyme. With four Billboard charting albums, 3 million YouTube views and a legion of smart art fans he calls "Team Mega" beside him, the future looks brighter than ever.
The Super Soul Bros are a collective of San Jose musicians, whose fusion of funk and jazz meets the nostalgic melodies of classic video games. Formed in 2012 by keyboardist Robbie Benson, the Super Soul Bros have gained notoriety for their dynamic musicianship, high energy shows, and infectious grooves--comparable to jamming a '70s James Brown record into a Nintendo Entertainment System. Whether they're taking requests on the fly, or the crowd's busting into a full-on soul train, it's always a party with the Super Soul Bros.
