When LA Weekly said that Ran’s “fanbase and niche audiences are growing at a rate not seen since Tech N9ne,” they meant it. A former middle school teacher, Mega Ran (formerly Random) blends education, hip-hop and gaming in amazing new ways, penetrating the farthest reaches of the galaxy with his unique rhyme style and electric performances. Ran cut his teeth in the city of Philadelphia as a moonlighting emcee and producer, performing, freestyle rapping, producing and later engineering at a studio. After relocating to Phoenix, competing in the Scribble Jam emcee battle championships and taking an early exit, Ran almost quit before he was even started, when a creative lightning bolt struck, and a fire was lit. Video games, comic books and pop culture, all such huge factors in Ran’s upbringing, would begin to seep their way into his musical output, and the results were stunning.   Ran’s music and story have been shared on stages across the world, on television (ABC/NBC News, ESPN, Portlandia, Tosh.O, WWE Wrestling) and on Billboard, where four of his albums have placed on the Top 200 list, including 2021's "Live 95" debuting at #6 on the Hip-Hop Charts. His musical resume boasts collaborations with legends like Del The Funky Homosapien, MURS, Kool Keith, and Young RJ of the group Slum Village. Today, Mega Ran is no longer a teacher by title, but maintains a rigorous touring and recording schedule, traveling the world to entertain and educate through the gift of rhyme.

Gina Fritz doesn’t fall into one category; she creates her own. Fiery and bold, the pop rock vocalist from Connecticut continues to write out her own sonic formula through her new solo releases. In 2019, Gina teamed up with Whitney Peyton to form the edgy pop project Keyed Up, which quickly led the duo to Emo Nite, Warped Tour, and Pot of Gold Festival. Although still active in Keyed Up, Gina is setting out to claim her own creative identity. Up first in the queue for 2020 was the release of “Remedy,” an organic and emotive solo track that pulls experience from past projects, including a CT-based pop punk band and a collaborative dark pop project. Although just her first release of the year, “Remedy” earned traction on iHeart Radio and quickly established her punky, yet polished, identity as a solo artist. Laced with organic production and innovative pop hooks, Gina authentically represents the result of unadulterated passion, truth, and flair. FFA of: Halsey, Stand Atlantic, Paramore

Esh & The Isolations is a proto-punk adjacent rap band from Boston, MA. The outfit is fronted by Boston-based Rapper/Producer Esh, who once made a solid 3 seconds of eye contact with Gwen Stefani. 
 The band’s haphazard sound ranges from kinetic synth-punk to grime-ball boom-bap and trap. Esh raps like a masked recluse on pirated airwaves manically weaving thoughtful ruminations with childish buffoonery. As XXL magazine put it, “he is a witty dude with flexible vocal abilities, and he’s definitely different. His live show is an all-inclusive shit-show that we’d love to attend.” 
 Esh & The Isolations provide a voice not typically heard in hip hop. It is free from ridged convention yet steeped in indie rap tradition. They can out-punk any punk band, and Esh can out-rap any old-head purist. Plus, he met Macho Man Randy Savage when he was 8.
