MAGESTIK LEGEND: THE GREAT ESCAPE

One of Detroit’s most prolific MC’s is about to escape. Not from any war camp, but from the pressures of life, a mindstate in order to become great. On his route he has collaborated with like-minded artists such as Elzhi, One Be Lo, Supastition, a.o., now he’s releasing his second solo. Guards and traditionalists worldwide be aware!

Sup Magestik Legend. How do you feel now that you’re on the verge of releasing your new album?

I feel like there’s a big weight being elevated from my shoulders. This is my second album actually, but still it feels like the first official to me. This time everything feels right and I have the chance to showcase my art on a larger spectrum. So yeah, I feel great right now and it can only get greater!

For our readers who might not be familiar with you: who’s Magestik Legend?

—
Magestik Legend has been a presence on the Detroit rap scene for a good amount of time, as a part of the 925 Colony (no officially released music) and as an up and coming solo artist.  Magestik has worked with  the likes of eLZhi, Athletic Mic League, and One Be Lo.  Since 2007 Magestik has released three projects which were free off charge: FREE Magestik Legend, To Be Continued…Part 1(hosted by T3) and To Be Continued…Part 2 (hosted by Rapper Big Pooh). M.L. seems to be setting the stage to take his career to the next level with his up and coming album: The Great Escape.

I had the chance ask the Detroit emcee a few questions about the projects he’s got going on as well as the Detroit rap scene.

HipHopReview.net: On To Be Continued…Chapter 2 you talk a lot about copy cat rappers on the track “Carbon”  With everybody mimicking each other these days have you found it hard to stay true to yourself and never waiver from your own style?

CMJ 2010 (Quick Flashback) (NYC)

Here’s a quick Flashback of ML’s activities at the 2010 CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival in NYC. CMJ blasted off on Tuesday, October 19 and ran until Saturday, October 23.

Magestik, accompanied by NY’s own DJ Audible Doctor, was one of the headliners for the Quality Control Showcase on Wednesday, October 20 at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY. This showcase was sponsored by Quality Control Marketing and FWMJ’s RappersIKnow.com. The lineup consisted of a vast array of assorted indie talent from all across the US.

Here are a handful of the amazing visuals captured by http://www.stayreddy.com/:

All in All it looks like ML had a Great time from rocking CMJ showcases to partying at Q-Tip’s Annual Shindig with our friend FWMJ and running into Hometown Favs Dwele, Que D, Ro-Spit and Ron Dance…we’d say it was a Trip well spent. (Special Thanks to the family Karim from Quality Control.) StayConnected to the New SHOWS section to catch ML in action in a City near you!!

“The Great Escape Motion Picture Contest”

Team Legend says:

We are officially in the one-month countdown until The Great Escape drops, and already our inbox is jam packed with Great Escape ‘stuff’ from tastemakers, bloggers, and supporters.

Among the ‘stuff’ we got regarding The Great Escape was an AMAZING video montage created by an ML fan for the song “Scream”, which is one of Magestik’s favorite tracks off the album! We’re still not sure how this fan got the track, but the video is undeniably awesome and just in time for Halloween!”

ML says:

“I received a random email from a fan and supporter who apparently got his hands on my song SCREAM from “The Great Escape” promo Cds my Team mailed out a week or so ago. I didn’t trip. Its actually pretty dope and perfect for Halloween. Shouts to Dwight! Whutupdoe…”

Here is a Sneak Preview from ML’s upcoming LP The Great Escape:

“Now let’s take a sec to think back…”

“There’s a reason you’ve been hearing a lot of bubble from the D the past couple years, and Magestik Legend is yet another one of many talented artists coming out of “the mitten” causing that buzz.” -HoodHype.com

Wow! Now THAT’S what we’re talking about!  At this point, its safe to say that “To Be Continued…Chapter 1” officially got Magestik Legend on the minds and in the playlists of hip-hop tastemakers all over the world! Pure Hip-Hop said: “I’m ready to officially start hyping Magestik Legend as the Blu of 2010…the year is his if he go hard enough…he has it all; the voice, the lyrics, the flow, the ear for good beats, seemingly the work ethic too…can’t wait for the next one from him.” Yess!!  Go hard enough?  (pause) YES HE WILL. Bloggerhouse.net said it best: ” “To Be Continued..” is nothing short of pure heat.  Man, Detroit just stays winnin’!”, and with features on other prominent blogs like 2dopeboyz and KevinKnottingham.com, Magestik Legend is really seeing the fruits of his labor.  Beatsncrates.com showed lots of love in saying, “Magestik Legend doesn’t disappoint, and he brings the heat once again with “To Be Continued… Chapter 1.” I thought Magestik Legend was dope when he dropped FREE, but he kills it on this one.”

With the newly released “Chapter 2” (available NOW) and “The Great Escape” coming Nov 30, we advise you to keep your Eyes on the Prize aka the ML Catalog for the Next Movement!
ML has been featured on tons of dope projects, and is busy finishing up a few more major collabs. Karat Gold Radio candidly posted on their site,  “Seriously. He is one of the DOPEST emcees from Michigan.”

The people have spoken, and in reply we’d like to say THANK YOU.  The support and love keeps Magestik inspired and creatively thriving.  Be on the look out for the next bit of greatness brought to the people by Magestik Legend, and be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our “Tastemakers, Fans and Followers” List by sending a request email to MLexclusives@gmail.com !!
