New music: Will C presents Mr. Magic’s Down The Dial
Actually spotted this one on Unkut:
Down The Dial is Will C’s compilation of Mr. Magic’s finest moments sequenced to play like a classic 'Mr. Magic Rap Attack' show on any given night, front to back, with all the spontaneity one would expect to hear if they were transported back to the proper time and place. It is also simultaneously formatted to encompass all phases in the show’s decade long run, from the days of 1:00-4:00 AM on 105.9 WHBI to Saturday nights on 107.5 WBLS 8:00-12:00 PM. The listener essentially becomes Slaughterhouse Five’s Billy Pilgrim in a state of Rap Attack bliss. Complete with appearances from Mr. Magic himself, the Diabolical Biz Markie, and countless others, and with vintage glimpses at how “sister station” competitors were reacting to “The Official Voice of Hip Hop” at the time, Down the Dial meticulously pays homage.
