The aptly named melodic rnb track “Toxic Rain” is the latest single from Dim Mak signee Bok Nero, with production by David Mugratsch.
Shedding light on toxic relationships and unrequited love, “Toxic Rain” was a cathartic writing experience for Bok who typically dislikes talking about his feelings. While talking about his feelings is challenging, making music about them comes more naturally to Bok.
While questioning himself on “why do I invest so much into these relationships to the point I feel empty when it’s over?”
Bok found closure in his own situation, while also creating a healing song for the listener with “Toxic Rain.”
After coming up with the main lyrics and melody, Bok connected with David Mugratsch to build on his idea, and execute a track similar to Kaytranada’s vibe. The result is a sonically soothing anti-love song, and a further display of Bok’s artistry
David Mugratsch is a 19 year old producer from Germany, who has been producing since age 11. Another introvert who would rather use music to convey his feelings, David spends most of his time in the studio and was stoked to work with Bok on producing “Toxic Rain.”
“When Bok hit me up and asked if I had a cool piano house beat, I went through some older projects and found this chord progression I made when I was 15 years old! I’ve put it in a new session and was able to build the foundation of the whole song in four hours.
I sent Bok a 30-second snippet of it. He loved it, so I kept working on it and finished the whole beat within the next 24h. A few days later, I received the vocals that Bok wrote. I honestly couldn’t believe that he nailed the vocals so perfectly.
I mixed and mastered it right after and here we are. Bok is very talented and I loved working together with him on this track. I’m very happy that this song is finally out on DIM MAK!” – David Mugratsch
About Bok Nero
Bok Nero is truly paving his own path as his artist project grows, which is no small feat as there are no comparable acts for him to look up to.
A student of life who is flourishing in unimaginable ways as someone from the projects in Philadelphia, Bok’s success in music making, live shows, collaborations and travel is all self-made and developing in real time. Where Bok comes from, the idea of traveling is unattainable and even scary.
Growing up, he remembers only knowing of a four block radius in his neighborhood, so on his first European tour, his “WORLWIDE NERO” and “FUCK FEAR, TRAVEL MORE” phrases started to brew in him.
While Bok’s sound is a hybrid of hip hop, dance, trap and pop – his sound is evolutionary and truly can’t be pigeon holed into one genre of sound. His newest and unreleased music is nothing like what fans have heard from him before.
