Captain Magik's New Release, "On The Edge"

Captain Magik's recently released album “On the Edge” promises to take him back to his hip hop roots with a hard-hitting edge. “On the Edge” has 14 tracks and includes collaborations with out hip hop artists Drew Mason and Deadlee.  Magik also reached out to singers and MC’s from outside homo hop and included collaborations with Freecansee, Raz, Bobby Jones and Bryan B.  The CD is available for sale and/or download from CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon.

Magik released his first album "Young, Gay and Proud" in 2008.  His music video for the single Dilemma aired regularly on national television on the MTV-owned Logo channel “Click List: Top Ten Videos.” The video was ultimately voted the number one video of 2008 on Logo. “Young, Gay and Proud” received rave reviews from across the US and Magik was featured in Spin Magazine, Instinct Magazine, the LA Times and the Plain Dealer. He has performed at Toronto Pride, opened for RuPaul at Club Circa, and participated in “Street Cred 101,” a live theatre piece about gay hip hop, at the Highways Performance Gallery in Los Angeles.  Dilemma was also named QNation’s Out Hip Hop Song of the Year.
