Background on Magic City
Magic City has been a cultural hub in Atlanta for over 40 years, where diverse groups of people come together. The club was established by Michael “Mr. Magic” Barney in 1985, initially starting with just one dancer. It gained prominence partly due to its association with professional athletes and musicians, creating a vibrant nightlife scene.
Jermaine Dupri has maintained a strong connection with the club and its culture, having found success while in Atlanta. He outlines that at Magic City, everyone is treated equally regardless of their background, contributing to its unique atmosphere. “Magic City: An American Fantasy” will be a 5-part docu-series featuring notable personalities such as Shaquille O’Neal, T.I., Killer Mike, and Drake. The series seeks to challenge negative perceptions around the club and aims to highlight the women working there as empowered individuals.
Furthermore, Magic City has served as a platform for artists to debut their music, further solidifying its status within hip-hop culture. Many dancers from the club have achieved fame and success in various domains outside the nightclub scene. The docu-series reflects the lasting success of one of the few establishments that have thrived for four decades within the entertainment landscape. Dupri hopes that through this project, the world will gain a deeper understanding of Atlanta’s nightlife, recognizing it as an integral part of its culture rather than viewing it as degrading.
