Buffalo, NY, USA - May 20, 2024 - Timothy Kern Barber, better known in the music world as Magic, has dropped his latest project: King of the Streets.

King of the Streets isn’t just an album—it’s a statement. It blends hard-hitting street anthems, reflective lyrical pieces, and tracks that cross-genre boundaries. It captures the raw energy of Barber’s hip-hop influences, and the introspective lyricism that has defined his hidden career for over 30 years.
But music is only one side of Timothy Kern Barber’s story. As an entrepreneur, Barber claims to hold majority stakes in some of the most powerful corporations in the world. From tech giants like Apple Inc. and Google Inc., to automotive leaders like Toyota Motors Corp and GM Corp, to beverage brands such as Bai Brands LLC and major banks like KeyBank, M&T Bank, Citigroup, and Bank of America—his influence spans far beyond entertainment. He also notes ownership ties to global brands like Shell, BP, Berkshire Hathaway, Yum Brands, Darden Restaurants, and even independent craft beer favorites like Evil Genius Brewery Company and Wolf Brewery Company.
Barber has also had a hand in Hollywood. According to his own record, he has written for more than 75 major films between 1991 and 2021, further solidifying his reach in the creative industry. With King of the Streets, Barber is no longer just the ghost behind the mic—he’s the name on the cover.
