Magnetic began receiving some national attention in 2005 when he produced the Philly anthem "The Sound of Philadelphia" for Reef the Lost Cauze. The song would go on to air on ESPN Monday Night Countdown, a 76ers game & a British Documentary. In 2007, Magnetic began recording his 1st official iTunes released mixtape, “Everything's A Gamble Vol. One” which showcased his beatmaking and rhyming abilities equally. It consisted of songs from 2003 - 2006 & featured underground heavyweights such as: Channel Live, Sean Price, Edo G, Chino XL, Copywrite amongst others. While mixing "EAG" in July 2007, Mag was invited to appear on the Army of the Pharaohs (AOTP) 2007 LP "The Ritual of Battle". AOTP is a collective spearheaded by Jedi Mind Tricks' front man Vinnie Paz & features Apathy, Celph Titled, Esoteric, Reef the Lost Cauze & others. After standing out on tracks such as "Drama Theme" & "Black Christmas", Mag earned a spot as an official member in the Army of the Pharaohs.



Shortly after making his cameos on AOTP's album, Magnetic shot his 1st promotional video, "I Don't Know You" which debuted on billboard.com, allmusic.com's Top 5 New Hip-hop Videos, artofryhme.com & other music sites. In early 2008 he followed up with his "Crown Me" video & began doing more collaborations. Slowly becoming more visible, he entered a Red Bull Beat Battle, did some tour shows with JMT, and even recorded with Young Guru and KRS-One for “Stop The Violence ‘08”. Not slowing down in 2009, Magnetic recorded for various projects including: Apathy’s “Wanna Snuggle?”, East Coast Avengers ft. Main Flow, Quaker’s project with Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, the 3rd AOTP LP, King & The Cauze - Shadyville mixtape and album - a collaboration album with Reef the Lost Cauze & “Everything’s A Gamble Vol. Two”. “EAG 2” is packed with an all-star underground line-up including Slug of Atmosphere, Joell Ortiz, Termanology, Immortal Technique and others.
