It was a far cry from the prime time in New York, what he didn\u2019t realize was he was starting the very first rap radio show. A few short years would go by and Frankie Crocker<\/a>, program manager for Inner City Broadcasting<\/a>, took his rising star to commercial powerhouse WBLS<\/a> with the first exclusive rap radio show to be aired on a major station.[2]<\/a><\/sup>Rap Attack<\/i>, Magic’s show featured Marley Marl<\/a> as the DJ and Tyrone “Fly Ty” Williams as the show’s co-producer. Magic moved full-time to WBLS-FM<\/a> in July 1982. His reign on the New York City airwaves lasted six years and was instrumental in broadening the scope and validity of hip-hop music.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Mr. Magic recorded one 12″ single as an artist “Magic’s Message (There’s A Better Way)”,[4]<\/a><\/sup> produced by Spyder D<\/a> for Posse Records in 1984. He is also interviewed in the 1986 cult documentary Big Fun In The Big Town<\/a><\/i>.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n During the mid-80s there was a rivalry between Mr. Magic and Kool DJ Red Alert<\/a>, who hosted a weekly show on WRKS-FM<\/a>. The feud also played out between proxy<\/a> rap groups, the Juice Crew<\/a> and Boogie Down Productions<\/a> (see The Bridge Wars<\/a>). The Juice Crew \u2013 headed by Mr. Magic’s on-air assistant, DJ Marley Marl<\/a> \u2013 was named after one of Magic’s aliases, “Sir Juice.”[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
