MEGA RAN CLIMBS HIGH TO FIND A SAFE SPACE FOR KIDS ON BUDDY’S MAGIC TREE HOUSE

ALL ARE WELCOME ON THE RAPPERS SECOND CHILDREN’S ALBUM - OUT JUNE 27, 2025

Mega Ran’s Buddy’s Magic Tree House is the second children’s album from the former teacher turned rapper who exploded into the family music scene in 2023. 

In 2022, Mega Ran’s world was flipped upside down when he decided with his wife to enter into the unpredictable world of foster parenting. This crash course into parenting completely changed Mega Ran’s approach to making music as a video game composer and rapper, leading him to create Buddy’s Magic Toy Box, which debuted on Billboard as the #2 Kids Music album in the US.

After the album’s release, Mega Ran’s transformation into a children's music artist seemed destined. It was seamless. Ran began playing shows at museums, parks and libraries.

Ran also toured the world playing over 100 tour stops with legendary bands like Wheatus and The Cybertronic Spree, to all-ages and 21+ venues; yet he STILL played his children’s hits, despite having a mile-long catalog of rap songs about comics, games and pro-wrestling. “If I can teach 12 year olds, then adults are easy,” Ran would say on stage, half joking. He wasn’t wrong. Crowds of all ages from all walks of life would chant along with his catchy tunes about affirmations, healthy eating habits and friendship. The merging of all of Mega Ran’s worlds was complete.

That was what inspired the direction of Buddy’s Magic Tree House. “If the first album was about opening the toy box and enjoying playtime, then the second is about sharing those toys with others, and creating a safe space for everyone to play in as themselves, unpologetically. Everyone is welcome and safe when they enter the Tree House.”
