Black Materia: Rebirth

Mega Ran successfully funded a Kickstarter for his Final Fantasy VII Rebirth rap album “Black Materia: Rebirth”, which included a vinyl backer reward.

The release is a single LP on grey marble colored vinyl. It is housed in a single-pocket jacket with artwork by Tony Washington.

The campaign ran between January 25 to February 24, 2024. It was scheduled to release in December, 2024, but was delayed multiple times before shipping out in late May, 2025.

The release was originally advertised as a 2LP, but ultimately ended up being a single LP release.

Black Materia: The Remake

Mega Ran launched a Kickstarter to fund a vinyl release of a remake of his Black Materia hip hop arrangement album of Final Fantasy VII.

The release will be a 2LP with one record on dark green with heavy green and light blue splatter and the other on dark green with heavy blue and light green splatter. It will be housed in a gatefold jacket with new artwork.

The campaign launched on October 11, 2019 and was successfully funded on November 10, 2019. It was initially scheduled to release in September, 2020, but was delayed due to COVID-19 delaying the production of the album.

On January 25, 2021 GameChops launched a Bandcamp vinyl pressing campaign for funding additional vinyl copies of this album, which will be the same copies given out to backers of the Kickstarter campaign.

The vinyl release was scheduled to release in May, 2021, but was delayed several times and began shipping out in November, 2021.
