Awood Johnson (born in New Orleans, Louisiana), better known by his stage name Magic, is a New Orleans hip hop artist, who first worked the city's underground circuit, before signing with Master P's No Limit Records label thanks to the mogul's brother, C-Murder. Magic met C-Murder at a party and impressed him with his rapping ability. Magic was intended to become part of TRU, but Master P insisted that he instead rap on the parent label with a broader fan base. The relationship came to a bitter end after most of the other original No Limit artists had already left, and Magic has since spoken out bitterly against Master P and his business practices. Magic is currently a member of Body Head Bangerz, a rap group founded by Roy Jones, Jr. . he is 38 yrs old.

Magic proudly hails from the Ninth Ward of New Orleans and is often touted as "Mr. Ninth Ward." He popularized the initials "CTC", which stand for "cross-the-canal" or "Cut-Throat-City," referring to the Industrial Canal, which runs through the 9th Ward.

On July 24, 2006, it was announced that Magic had secured a deal with TVT Records, and was too release a new album, entitled Before & After in 2007.
