Earlier this week I blogged about MC Lars's latest video, an interesting piece that uses rap to relay a lesson on the finer points of poetic meter, over at
GeekDad. Interestingly enough, that's actually not the only example of educational hip-hop currently making the YouTube rounds.
Mega Ran recently released the first single from his
Kickstarter-funded Language Arts multimedia project, subtitled "
First Day of School." It's another solid slice of lyrical positivity that boasts stellar production from Richie Branson, nicely organic direction by Tom Larkin and a bridge in which Random takes a moment to explain the proper function of the musical bridge. #meta
The
first volume of the 3 EP set is available now, as is a browser-based
video game and
digital comic. Check out all three, and look for Ran
on tour throughout the summer.
