Magic City Having been the drive behind Nastyboy's undertakings, MC Magic was primed to release his second solo album in 2006. The May release, Magic City, peaked at number one on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and at number 60 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Magic City Part 2 Magic City'''s success opened up many new opportunities for him but mostly it established MC Magic as a solo act.
