Nu Magik "The Vintage"


Nu Magik Readies Their Debut Album “The Vintage”

Introducing Nu Magik…

So i just wanted to put you on to my boys new album. On the eve of their upcoming release hip-hop collaborators
Nu Magik, which consists of jazz producer Deuce Maxwell and Chicago emcee Draz, are gearing up to take listeners back to the future with their debut album entitled “The Vintage” a soulful collection of hip hop backdrops polished with conscious, yet quotable wordplay that culminates into one of the most refreshing releases we’ve heard in recent years.

“One of the most unique things about this album, is that it was born solely from a shared appreciation of good music” said Deuce Maxwell “We assembled this project as our contribution to the art form we both love, and we were able to complete the entire album on that vibe alone, without ever meeting face to face” he added.

Considering the technological approach used to create the album, it’s title “The Vintage” may sound like bit of an oxymoron, but one listen and you’ll know exactly why this title suits this album ever so perfectly. Whether you’re on the job, or driving amidst 5pm traffic this album provides an ideal landscape for the blue-collar consumer that wants more than mindless sound effects and new dance steps.

With their subtle approach to hip-hop, songs like their ode to starving artists everywhere “Could it Be Love” play like a sincere reminder for struggling musicians worldwide to keep hope alive, this sediment coupled with an undeniable hook courtesy of UK sensation BLU Smith is sure to resonate with your stereo as well as in the hearts of real hip-hop lovers abroad.

One of the albums singles “Musik” is tailored to those of us who enjoy a good night on the town without all of the nightclub antics. The single also features the lush harmonies of R&B artist Smoke E. Digglera (formerly of the group Playa (Def Soul/Def Jam) whose repertoire consists of his work with the late singer/songwriter Static Major as well as a top ten single with the Timbaland produced hit “Cheers 2 U”

Draz, the more vocal member of Nu Magik, navigates through each song on the album with the poise of a seasoned veteran, using his butter smooth tone to compliment each track to perfection. Already a familiar name amongst Chicago emcees, Draz has also worked with a variety of artists most notably singer/songwriter Martin Kember whose impressive track record includes the likes of artists such as
Tupac Shakur, and Frankie J. just to name a few.

So if you’re looking for an album that’s refreshing and most definitely the hip-hop you have been searching for be sure to check out the debut album “The Vintage” from Nu Magik.
