Mega Ran & Amerigo Gazaway Emerge from The Upside Down with STRANGERS: Back to The Lab EP (RandomBeats & Soul Mates Records)


As we all well know by now (or SPOILER ALERT:) Stranger Things is a Science-Fiction/Horror web television series created, written, and directed by The Duffer Brothers and executive-produced by Shawn Levy. The show was released as a Netflix original series premiering on July 15, 2016. The show takes place in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana in the early-to-mid-1980's. When a young boy vanishes, Hawkins becomes embroiled in an extraordinary mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying super-natural forces, and one strange little girl... Mega Ran released STRANGERS in 2017 and a follow-up is upon us! Inspired by the events of the record-breaking fourth season of Stranger Things (seriosuly, no SPOILERS here,) RandomBeats & Soul Mates Present: Mega Ran & Amerigo Gazaway's STRANGERS: Back to The Lab, a follow-up to Ran's 2017 STRANGERS EP.


Featuring production work from DJ DN³, Lost Perception, K-Murdock, and a handful of talented lyricists and collaborators (including Glennellen Anderson of Stranger Things, Season 1,) Ran & Gazaway—yes, he's here RAPPING!—join forces to save the world itself from the evils of The Upside Down. Roll for initiative! Pay What You Want, even $0.00! Mega Ran's original Sci-Fi effort, STRANGERS (2017,) was released ahead of Season 2 and showcased seven tracks, along with a Bonus Track, each focused on one primary character of Stranger Things. However, this time, on STRANGERS 2 AKA STRANGERS: Back to The Lab, Ran and new-found collborator/kindred spirit Amerigo Gazaway—widely-known for his Yasiin Gaye, J.B. & The Soul Mates/The Notorious J.B.'s, and A Common Wonder projects—have incorporated and skillfully interwoven elements from Stranger Things, Season 4 (Vol. I-II.)


This time around, Mega Ran & Amerigo Gazaway are accompanied by supporting characters (producers) Lost Perception, DJ DN³ & K-Murdock and guest stars (featured artists) Ray Wimley, Glennellen Anderson AKA "Nicole" from Stranger Things, and Dillon. Ran & Amerigo have even incorporated samples of Metallica's "Master of Puppers," Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God,)" and other assorted themes and arcs seen and heard throughout the beloved series. So, turn that frown Upside Down, turn off that other Netflix series, and go stream or purchase STRANGERS: Back to The Lab exclusively at Bandcamp. Hopefully, this will help hold you (and ourselves!) over 'til Stranger Things' Season 5 send-off!

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra
