Mega Ran (Raheem Jarbo) is a former middle school teacher turned Guinness World Record-holding rapper, DJ, author, and foster father whose music bridges hip-hop, gaming, and education. A pioneer of nerdcore, Ran has released multiple Billboard-charting albums, toured the globe, and placed music in blockbuster games (Mortal Kombat 11, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge), films (Clerks III), and wrestling programs (WWE, AEW). Whether performing in packed clubs, classrooms, or Comic Con, Mega Ran’s mission is the same: to entertain, educate, and inspire. In 2023, Ran entered family music with Buddy’s Magic Toy Box, debuting at #2 on Billboard’s Kids Chart. Its follow-up, Buddy’s Magic Tree House (2025), hit #1 on iTunes Children’s charts and earned multiple Spotify playlist placements. His kid-friendly anthems like “The Library Jawn” have become hits in schools, museums, and libraries.
