For the second single from Magick Show’s sophomore EP, the Nickel City supergroup delve deeper into their explorations of the dark arts with this ode to witches and warlocks.

Welcome the Morning Star into your life with the wordplay wizardry of Magick Show.

The Dirty Sample warns “Don’t F@#k With Witches”

One of two singles dropping today is The Dirty Sample’s “Don’t F@#k With Witches”…

The third single from Beats To Murder Rappers 2, the upcoming beat tape from The Dirty Sample, is a dedication to the witches who work with the energies of the universe. On “Don’t F@#k With Witches”, an unnatural wind blows over a mid-tempo boom bap drum beat as the remaining elements of the instrumental switch between a series of slow synth notes and a bunch of little creepy samples. It’s the perfect soundtrack for cooking up that evil curse. Now you know, you don’t f@#k with witches!

Produced by The Dirty Sample
