Drake is partnering with Jermaine Dupri to create a documentary about Atlanta’s famous Magic City strip club. The series will detail the back story of the famous venue and its decades-long influence on hip-hop. Magic City has been name-dropped by rappers in lyrics for years and has been a place artists have debuted new records. It’s also been a popular hangout for the B.M.F. crew and was the site of former Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams’s get-out-the-vote announcement in 2020.
Charles Todd will serve as the director of Magic City: An American Fantasy. 2 Chainz, Nelly, Shaquille O’Neal, Quavo, Killer Mike, and Big Boi, among others will all be making appearances.
“Magic City is a second home for me. It’s the one place where celebrities, hustlers, politicians, and Atlanta locals all come together. I’ve watched it evolve over the years from a local joint to an internationally recognized spot. It’s about time we tell this story the right way,” executive producer Dupri said in a statement.
In making the docu-series, the creative team has exclusive access to never-before-told anecdotes, archival footage, and first-hand accounts from different nights at the club. It will also cover the club’s owner, Michael “Mr. Magic” Barney. Magic City: An American Fantasy does not yet have a release date.
The band confirmed his death on Friday, days before their 40th anniversary.
"I promise you we did everything we could," the singer said on stage in New York City.
“Player two has entered the game”
DJ Akademiks has been steadily criticizing Jay-Z and Roc Nation as of late, although now it seems like he wants to change course.
The album also includes the brand new song 'I'm Never Gonna R.I.P.' - check it out here
