They call it the Tiny Desert Concert, and I get it. Mega Ran jams out his signature hip hop style and latest music alongside DJ DN3 for the folks at KJZZ Phoenix. Check out the official video of the performance thanks to the KJZZ Phoenix YouTube channel.

Mega Ran — aka Raheem Jarbo — is a nerdcore rapper whose music celebrates all things “nerd.” And while this might seem like a niche genre, Mega Ran is a bona fide star within it, and his fanbase extends around the world.

His music career changed in an instant a decade ago when one of his songs went viral on Reddit. His lyrics are nostalgic and inspirational at once, drawing on Jarbo’s childhood experiences entrenched in the world of gaming.

Mega Ran performed for KJZZ at “Air Apparent,” artist James Turrell’s Skyspace on ASU’s Tempe campus.
