MaG explores the price of living in his Reagonomics mixtape, with lyrics that often delve into socio-political issues. This is rap with substance, not just political posturing. MaG says, “Sure now its ‘cool’ to be a back-packer or a hipster and talk about your real life, but nobody’s speaking for the impoverished, the lost, the forgotten.”

Call it depth of character. While other rappers focus on their own autobiographies, MaG tells his story within the context of the community and the world around him. He wants to speak for the voiceless.

But MaG doesn’t preach – ultimately his focus is on making good Hip Hop music. “I just hope the music I make can affect people in the way the music I listened to affected me. I want people to throw in a MaG joint and go, ‘Wow, this reminds me of how it used to be….this reminds me of how music is supposed to sound.’”

The Reagonomics mixtape features collaborations with artists such as Skyzoo, Darien Brockington, and Torae. And the co-signs don’t stop there. In fact, Buckwild calls him “the future of NYC Hip Hop.”

As for MaG’s future – he has projects with kevinnottingham.com scheduled for August release dates, and new solo work dropping in the near future. Expect big things to come from this Bronx emcee.
