Random received positive reviews with his 2006 debut album, The Call. (It was chosen as one of the best of the year by hiphoplynguistics.com.) Such feedback seems to have served as motivation, because since then, Random has put in a considerable amount of work. After releasing The Call Remixtape, a collection of remixes with a few unreleased tracks, Random focused on a personal project: the album Mega Ran, in which he sampled the sounds from a favorite video game, Mega Man.

Biography

For too long, Hip-Hop has been mired in lyrical mediocrity. Today anyone and everyone can pick up the mike and rhyme. Emcees are no longer expected or required to elevate. Instead they are expected to jump on the bandwagon of the hottest producers, to ill prepare themselves for fleeting success and to take a rapid rocket ride to the top of the charts. Lyricists aren’t built to last these days. They are mass-produced for quick millions and a hot summer single that will fade by the fall. Fortunately there is still raw talent bubbling under the surface. Riding the wave of a steady fan base and a rock solid reputation, Aarophat is the first of a crop of up and coming talent. Youngstown, Ohio’s premier lyricist has been writing and rhyming for as long as he can remember. He patterns himself after no one, but with a healthy respect for Big Daddy Kane and Rakim, Aarophat has set out to blaze new trails and leave his mark on the game.

Biography

Consisting of producer Brickbeats (Cincinnati) and emcee/producer Jermiside (Atlanta by way of Cincinnati), the Red Giants are the newest dynamic duo in Underground hip-hop. The two hip-hop aficionados  first crossed paths in late 2003 as Jermiside was making his rounds promoting his self released debut The Biology Of Kingship as Brickbeats was providing his golden era influenced backdrops for numerous rap acts in the Tri-State Area. A year later, after recording a hand full of well received songs, they decided to combine forces for a full-length release called The Red Giants.
