2025 New York Game Awards x Mega Ran
Raheem Jarbo, known by the stage name Mega Ran, is a former middle school teacher who blends education, hip-hop and gaming to complement his unique rhyming style. He's contributed to various video game soundtracks, including Mortal Kombat 1, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, River City Girls 2 and others. He released three albums this year, including "Black Materia Rebirth," an ode to the Final Fantasy franchise.
"Raheem's background as an educator and deep love for video games resonated with our organization and made the decision to bring him in as a performer a no-brainer," said Harold Goldberg, Co-founder and President, NYVGCC. "I like to describe his Mega Ran persona as a nerdcore transmitter of video game lore, and we can't wait to see how he captures our audience with his set paying tribute to this medium we all love."
"2024 was such a monumental year for me as an artist and father, and I can't think of a better way to kick off 2025 than at the New York Game Awards," said Raheem "Mega Ran" Jarbo, musician. "I can't wait to play a special new song and some classics at the show."
