Podcast appearances and mentions of raheem jarbo

It's easy for us to say "follow your passion!" or "march to the beat of your own drum," but following through on your passions is much harder. How do we persevere when everyone in our lives is telling us it would be wiser to give up, more traditional, or dream a little smaller? Raheem Jarbo (also known by his rap persona Mega Ran) was a middle school teacher leading a double life as a hip-hop artist for years. In 2011, he left his teaching career behind to pursue his passion for music full time. However, his unconventional musical styling of nerdcore hip-hop made an already difficult artistic pursuit even more challenging.

This week I got a little blown away to be able to get in touch with a musician I've been following for a long old while now and that is Mega Ran! Raheem Jarbo under his stage name Mega Ran is a rapper, hip hop artist, DJ, producer...you name it he's done it. Having been around in the game of music and art for years he's a regular on my playlist and is heavily known in the chiptune, nerdcore communities but is also deeply immersed in the underground rap scene an artist firmly with a foot in two world we establish. Having just released another album "Live '95" we talk the culture, what it means to be part of those two worlds and why they have grown to be distinct and overall the importance of making music for yourself. Touching on the risk of early burn out and that truly to make an impact you have to love what you're doing. As soon as you lose that you'll lose project and passion to complete what you began.You can catch him all over the internet but here are some great places to start:https://megaranmusic.com/musichttps://www.youtube.com/c/megaranhttps://megaran.com/https://www.instagram.com/mega_ranItuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteYou can support the show and Graham by visitingwww.instagram.com/yellingatconcretewww.yellingatconcrete.bigcartel.comwww.ko-fi.com/yellingatconcrete See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
