In 1999 Magic released his second solo studio album Thuggin" which featured his hit singles " That"s Maine" and " Ice on my Wrist" with Master P, which had minor success, peaking at #30.
Following poor sales of his third studio album, White Eyes (#147), in 2003, along with the departure of many of Number Limit"s marquee artists and the label"s overall decline, Magic severed his relationship with Number Limit. He released his fourth and final solo album, the non-charting On My Own, on Koch Records just five months after his split from Number Limit.
Magic then secured a deal with TVT Records in 2006, but left without ever releasing any material. He formed his own label, Banx Entertainment, in 2011.
