The second single taken from Magro’s forthcoming ‘Tokyo Tree’ EP features vocals from Rapturous, otherwise known as RAH (of RAH & The Ruffcats fame) rapping and singing over shuffling broken beats and warm jazz-tinged keys.
Magro originally hails from Ludwigsburg, close to Stuttgart, in southern Germany. Having grown up around music, and learnt both piano and drums as a child, this musical prodigy moved to Berlin in 2015 to take in its vibrant music scene and feed off of his love for hip hop and soul music. It was here that he honed his craft as a producer, and Magro was born.
“Producing has opened up a new musical world for me, because I’ve learned to listen in a completely different way.” Magro
The aptly titled Need A Friend was originally produced by Magro as an instrumental cut, until RAH wrote lyrics and added his distinctive, smooth part-sung, part-rapped vocal, somewhat reminiscent of Anderson.Paak. It’s a song that sums up the pair’s relationship and celebrates the joy of having a friend who understands you and that you can rely on. RAH’s flow sits perfectly over Magro’s tight rolling drums and optimistic keys.
