Comprised of close friends that share an unhealthy lust for music, Magnetic North is a hip hop duo that strives to find the balance between insightful lyrics and engaging instrumentals. Though they formed in 2003, both Direct and T-minus have been emceeing for over 7 years. Direct, the mastermind behind their instrumentals, favors melodies heavy in acoustic guitar, piano rifts, and a variety of strings. He tops off his production with honest rhymes and a refreshingly crisp delivery. Then there is T-minus, so called for her timebomb like tendencies, who brings to Magnetic North that final touch - a female emcee as comfortable on the mic as any of her male contemporaries.

Currently, they expect to release their first album together by early 2005. Downloads and more information can be found on their website at www.magnetichiphop.com
