Dre Boogs and DJ Kweston Present....King Magnetic - The Co-$ign

Today I bring you the music of a talented and hulking Hip-Hop figure that has truly added to Philly's underground scene in the most genuine and rugged of ways. When a lot of people see the 6'9", 300 pound frame of Pennsylvania native King Magnetic the first thing they think about might not be excellent hardcore rhyming skills or a talent for boom bap production. All preconceived notions aside, the monstrous figure is in fact a rapper/producer double threat and his size is only rivaled by his considerable hip-hop aptitude.

If you take time to learn about the ex-convict's life story you'll soon understand his music is some of the most authentic around. Utilizing a tough up-bringing through the Pennsylvania state jail and prison systems, and a million memories of his former hardcore lifestyle, Magnetic pens interesting and unique stories for the listeners to both relate to and marvel at.

Magnetic's music hasn't been an overnight success. Having first decided to try and jump in the game in the early 90's, Mag has cut many a demo tape in a shitty basement studio and was well schooled in the art of rhyming and production. He understands Hip-Hop's true virtues and routinely upholds and applies them in his ventures. He speaks his mind, never sells out and gets down with only those who hold the same morals. Speaking of who Magnetic has got down with, many of you undoubtedly will recognize him from some of his guest appearances on Jedi Mind Trick's projects as well as having collaborated many times with Philly rhyme artist Reef The Lost Cauze. This isn't Magnetic's first picnic and upon listening to his music, one of the things you'll recognize right away is the care he takes in delivering his verses and making coherent statements. He's a sharp cookie and he relays both his street and overall intelligence well, something that can be an elusive skill for hardcore artists. You wouldn't know it was so hard from Magnetic however, as he will routinely captivate your attention with his observant correlations.

What I'm droppin for y'all today is Magnetic's newest tape that is somewhat of a "best of" collection, with some new things sprinkled in here and there. Sure to please any underground head, "The Co-$ign" gives you some of Magnetic's more recent and spectacular collaborations. Featuring older names like Sean Price, El Da Sensei and Vinnie Paz as well as bright newcomers like Brooklyn Based Sha Stimuli and Philly soundman Scanz, this mixtape is a can't miss and an adequate warm up for Magnetic's upcoming opus "Everything's A Gamble", which is now available on itunes (go grab that!) for digital download.
