Mr. Magic was born on March 15, 1956, in the Bronx, New York, and became a pioneering force in Hip-Hop. He kicked off his career in 1979 at WHBI with "Disco Showcase," a program that transformed into one of the earliest rap-focused radio shows. This laid essential groundwork for Hip-Hop’s eventual rise into the mainstream spotlight.

In 1983, he took a monumental step by joining WBLS-FM to host "Rap Attack," one of the first exclusive Hip-Hop shows on a major station. Alongside DJ Marley Marl and Tyrone "Fly Ty" Williams, the show ran until 1989, introducing new artists and exclusive tracks to a growing audience. It played a vital role in expanding Hip-Hop’s reach and cementing its cultural significance.

Beyond the airwaves, his influence shaped the genre as he helped launch careers for artists like Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie. Known as "Sir Juice" in the Juice Crew, he also engaged in a lively rivalry with DJ Red Alert from KISS-FM, boosting Hip-Hop’s popularity through playful insult songs. After WBLS, he continued producing and compiling music, leaving a lasting mark on the industry.

Mr. Magic's untimely passing on October 2, 2009, at the age of 53 due to a heart attack marked the end of an era for Hip-Hop radio, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of artists and fans alike.

This obviously isn't his whole story, but I always suggest anyone who's a fan of the culture learn more for themselves. R.I.P.
