Upstate New York lyricists GREA8GAWD and JOEY MAJORS unite for the release of “MAGNATE”, a cinematic rap album produced by Merc Beatz (Erykah Badu, Raekwon, Jim Jones).
Narrated by Carlos Roig, a former Cocaine Cowboy who served 28 years, the project fuses hard street Boom Bap with soulful Spanish-inspired samples, creating a sound that embodies ambition, survival, and luxury rap at its highest level.
“This is more than music—it’s timeless,” says Merc Beatz.
Packed with sharp lyricism, layered production, and raw storytelling, “MAGNATE” captures both the hunger of the streets and the elegance of a new era in hip-hop.
“MAGNATE” is available now on all streaming platforms.
