Free Magestik Legend

Days before he releases his album for free (that’s right, free), Magestik Legend has been featured in Real Detroit.

Tom Matich caught up with ML, speaking with him about this album, upcoming projects and joining OneBeLo on the Warped Tour:

Magestik says this project is the introduction to his debut solo album, which is nearing completion. There’s also a duo album with fellow Subterraneous crewmember One Be Lo, The Security, which will soon have a release date. In the meantime, Magestik will be chillin’ with the punks at Warped Tour. “I feel comfortable rocking with punk-rock crowds,” Magestik says. “I feel they relate to my message as much as hip-hop crowds do. They both can relate to honest expression, struggle, rebelliousness and creativity.”

Free Magestik Legend will be available July 29th at www.magestiklegend.com.

Asylum 7 “Politicks” audio

Self-described advocate of “quality hip hop”, Asylum 7, with “Poli-ticks” off of his Brown Study EP.

Produced by Sleepy Biggs. Hear the message.

Asylum 7 in the Metro Times:

Primordial ooze: Asylum 7 got his start making music on the infamous Runyon Avenue on Detroit’s east side. His blue-collar style of hip-hop is rooted in fact, not fiction, and this dude is one of the most socially aware MC’s in the area right now.

Why you should really care: “Because the music is honest, yo! It’s not your typical radio and club shit. My music isn’t vain, and it’s not fabricated either. It’s the epitome of honest music created from the soul. Good lyricism without the profanity and misogynistic nonsense.”

The single: His recently released EP, Brown Study, doesn’t have a lead single, and that’s exactly the way he wants it. According to A7, he wants the whole product to stand out as one musical offering to the world. “As long as every song is just as positive as the next one, it’s all good.”

Peer-to-peer: Rocks well with the Subterraneous Crew, Elzhi, S.U.N., Metasyons, Selfsays and Leaf Erikson.

What’s next: Still working on a yet-to-be-titled full-length album of new material. Continues to promote the hell out of Brown Study.
