King Magnetic

Magnetic began receiving some national attention as early as 2005 when he produced The Sound of Philadelphia for Reef the Lost Cauze which went on to air on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. In 2006, Magnetic began recording his 1st official iTunes release, Everything's A Gamble which showcased his beat making and rhyming abilities. It featured underground heavyweights such as: Channel Live, Sean Price, Edo G and Chino XL amongst others. While mixing EAG in 2007, Mag was invited to appear on the Army of the Pharaohs (AOTP) 2007 LP Ritual of Battle. After standing out on tracks such as "Drama Theme" & "Black Christmas", Magnetic earned a spot as an official member in the Army of the Pharaohs.
