“For this song, especially the 3rd verse, I want to make a Special Dedication to the shining memory of my Amazing Dad and Super Hero who recently passed away after a lengthy bout with Alzheimer’s Disease. I know a lot of people can relate to that verse and this song as a whole. If you are dealing with the struggle of experiencing a family member or friend who has Alzheimer’s Disease, just know that you are not alone and make sure they know that they are not alone either. Be there for them and Stay Strong for them! Take care of your Family always. Peace and Power.” ~ Magestik Legend

AudibleHype.com talks to Magestik Legend about “Building a Foundation”

(The Following is a Re:Post from AudibleHype.com)

- Interview by Justin Boland

Magestik Legend is one of my favorite rappers, period. Detroit Native, Scribble Jam veteran, he’s evolved an intricate, cinematic style and writes some of the best lyrics anywhere. That’s not what this interview is about, though. What’s exceptional about Magestik Legend’s hustle is the long term vision he’s had since day one: he understands the entire production chain and he’s built a team to execute everything in-house. The result gives him total creative control and a strong business foundation. He was gracious enough to talk shop here about organization, discipline and DIY everything…

AH: Why do Detroit emcees scare the living shit out of anyone else on the planet? Is it mutual competition that keeps everyone sharp? (more…)

ACCLAIM Magazine interviews Magestik Legend

(The Following is a Re:Post from acclaimmag.com)

- Interview by Pj Smith

With all his prior material, the Free Lp and the To Be Continued series of tapes released to the public through a pay what you like system it comes as little surprise that Magestik Legends already solid fan base were looking for a physical release that they could spend their hard earned money on, The Great Escape sees their calls answered. Legend spits with an earnest and heartfelt honesty across the gamut of his catalogue and is not one to shy away from straining the vocal cords a little so as to lay down a harmony or two when occasion calls for it. With a year ahead that looks to take Magestik across his own home country and to far away lands (one of which will hopefully be our own) ACCLAIM sat down and got the same earnest MC on the other line that we’re used to hearing on the mic.

What’s new with you Magestik last year was a busy year for you yeah?

Yes! Last year was crazy busy according to plan. Right now my focus is on pushing The Great Escape. Also working on booking some shows. Might start writing again soon. Feeling creative.

One of the biggest things I’ve noticed with your releases is your continuing build in confidence with your singing. How has this process been and how do you see it fitting in with your sound?

Magestik Legend + Best of 2010 Mentions

Everybody and their tumblr had a “Best of 2010 List” this year!! There’s no way we could keep up with all the digital hub-bub, but we decided to put you up on a few lists involving Magestik Legend that were brought to our attention. Its amazing how much a lot of lists differed from site to site. Of course a “Best Of” list is nothing short of personal opinion, but its interesting to see where different types of music lovers’ heads are these days. With the “The Great Escape” release being so late in the year; some peeps even questioned should it be considered a 2010 or 2011 Release. Hey, we’ll take BOTH!

Check what ML had to say about the Lists:

Magestik Legend says:
“SHOUTS to all the cats putting my LP “The Great Escape” in their “TOP LISTS” for 2010 when its barely been out for a Month…SALUTE!!”
