In 1994, The Legendary Traxster took Bootsy Collins’ “Munchies For Your Love” and crafted what became the backdrop for PsychoDrama’s “Magic”. For that, I’m forever grateful. Not only is slow-rolling record from Buk, Newsense and Psyde one of my favorite songs ever, but it’s a Chicago classic.
The single was released in ’94 via Uncle Rick Records and only released on cassette tape, which you can see the insert from above. “Magic” may be twenty years old (can you believe it?), but it’s still dope as if it just dropped yesterday. The song has even been receiving some pretty cool revamps as of late such as White Gzus’ Mano-assisted “Pimp On” and Salva’s “Magic” featuring Freddie Gibbs and Psyde of PsychoDrama.
And for those who have never heard “Magic”, shame on you. A tagless version of the record is pretty hard to find on the e-streets these days, but I’ve included one for everyone’s listening and downloading pleasure below.
Happy #tbt, y’all.
