Jarbo is a Teacher.

Jarbo is a Rap Star.

Jarbo is Real!

It�s great to see Random Jarbo get a little local attention. �Bout time the local press take a look around to see what�s happening here.

I know Jarbo. I know him pretty well. I worked alongside of him. To me, he was a great teacher and then he revealed his Music-Message-Rap thing. He does a great job of it. And the PhoenixNewTimes article does him justice.

It might be kind of interesting to keep track of this honest voice into beats. Jarbo is inclusive, not divisive, what this world needs now.

More, more.

It's great to see the New Times focusing on the positive aspects of the Valley Hip Hop Scene. Random is definitely the breath of fresh air that music needs. Keep it up Ran!!!

GOOD TO SEE RANDOM ON HERE!! LOOK OUT!!

An incredible emcee and one of the nicest, humblest guys on the planet. With his music and teaching careers, it's incredible how much time he can still find for his fans and other up and coming rappers. Great article on a great role model.

Nice article. Very pleased to see some much needed recognition thrown towards a very talented artist. Not only is he a gifted teacher, and a damn nice guy, but he takes the time and effort to really connect with his fans. This assures his continued success when so many other overnight hit, major-backed, musicians fade into memory.

His one of the truest voices in hip-hop and has the rare gift of not taking himself too seriously. I look forward to his future projects as well as more excellent spotlights such as this in the pages (digital and otherwise) of the NYT.

Really good read. Random is a shining of example of all that's good in Hip Hop right now. Keep doing your thing homie.

p.s.I feel you on getting tired of the blistering Philly winters, lol

Random seems to take all the negativity out of hip hop. His songs are more about real life situations and less about money, guns and women. His album, The Call, is a truly inspired piece of art and it is a shame that more artists (hip hop or not) out there today do not make music in the same vein.

Thanks for the comments and thanks to the New Times for the look. Anyone brave and curious enough to check it out should come out to Saboten Con this weekend at the Hilton Mesa... :)

This a good article on a great on a good rapper/teacher/hero, hopefully Random starts getting the recognition he deserves.

It's great that there are still schools that don't follow a universal standard...i feel schools like that condition their students to compete for the same future, a future will limited capacity/possibilities...i'm glad random found a school that welcomes his diverse teaching skills...so, the students can aim for different directions, instead of conforming to a system that rejects many, due to its limit...�random� kind of teachers contribute to a student�s identity that will differ from students of other teachers, because their uniqueness influences their students, in many ways...in a society where so many people share the same ambitions, life is boring...like, the music on the radio...this week's top ten hits are last week's top ten hits�great music is made daily...these consistent top hits get old�but, because many are conditioned to accept it, they omit diversity in their life...that system promotes ignorance, the lack of diversity...so, thanks to random and the other non-uniform teachers...they contribute to a better life...also, random/mega ran puts on a great show, regardless, if the sound system works or not�don�t believe me?...pull the RCA cables from the sound system and experience it for yourself...haha

RANDOM FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful story. We need more examples of positivity in hip-hop and dedication in teachers. It looks like Random is managing to do both, and do them both well. Way to go!

It's true, Random teaches many of us who aren't in his class. I've learned/listened to his brilliant message for a while now. He's a refreshing change to the main stream hip-hop that so many people know, one listen to his album 'The Call' and I've made believers of a few people.
