Nastyboy Klick were a Latin rap group formed by Phoenix-based
MC Magic (Marco Cardenas), who had founded Nastyboy Records in 1991. After releasing the solo album Don't Worry in 1995, he formed
the Klick and released the debut album
Tha First Chapter, which received major-label distribution from Mercury. The album yielded a Billboard Top 100 hit in "Down for Yours," which featured talkbox vocals by
Roger Troutman, a primary influence on the group's smooth, funky sound. The 1998 follow-up
Tha Second Coming featured another hit, "Lost in Love" (a remake of one of
Magic's older tunes), as well as "I Know You Want Me," a duet with dance-pop singer
Ce Ce Peniston.
Magic, along with members Dos (
Daniel Salas) and Zig Zag (Ricardo Martinez), continued recording together, but changed the group name to
NB Ridaz for legal reasons. After releasing two albums, the group disbanded in 2006. ~ Paul Simpson
