About Me

The names Le Magnifiq the magnificent a man with chic. My rap game started way back in 1991 just by writing a few rhymes after being dumped by ex-girlfriend & never looked back. While on my journey I started to work with music of my own & through the 1990's I had enough for an album but no label. So in 2001 after several rejections from big labels I created M1 Music Ltd in London & it became the home for only hip hop & r&b reggae etc. When the events of 9/11 took place my direction changed completely, so I jumped on to political rap & like before I've never looked back. Of course, I always check the facts before I write because you need to get the attention of the public because after all the decisions in parliment will affect everyone in this country. 2004 saw the release of the album "Graffiti Junction", which I wrote & produced myself. I've been told by some that it's the most controversial album they have ever heard. For me it has been the most sucessful album realeased since M1 Music started in 2001. The most popular track is called "The Good,The Bad & The Idiot". A lot of anti-war people i have spoken to feel i've summed up the ill feeling about the war in Iraq.There have been a total of 5 albums released by M1 Music. 2000 re-released in 2004 The Ten Commandments of Le Magnifiq 2003 The M1 Story 2004 Life At A Fast Pace 2004 Graffiti Junction 2005 Graffiti Junction Part 2-The Struggle For Peace Continues... I've co produced with the other M1 Allstars such as Sylvimaree & Jenny Kosmowsky. In America we released the album "This Iz HipH'Opera" a combination of hip hop & opera. Its new & different & my favourite track of the album is "Mellow Vibes". It is also one of the most popular tracks from M1 Music. We aim to offer a new direction to the world even if its politically sensitive. I feel the people are not well represented so maybe music is the answer. In 2007 a brand new album called Sex Lies & Stereotypes to be out in November and the Free Palestine EP is out now, so my work is never done. I've come a long way since April 2001, who said you can't mix music with politics? If you believe, you stay on the path and your dreams will be fulfilled. M1 FOREVER BABY!!!
