Edan Portnoy, also known as the Humble Magnificent, is a Rockville, Maryland raised MC, producer and turntablist. With 2 full albums, several 12" singles, remixes and mixtapes under his belt, Edan has established himself as a versatile artist in the music industry.
Not only has he showcased his talent as a solo artist, but Edan has also collaborated with esteemed performers such as *Mr. Lif*, *Murs*, *Akrobatic* and *Time Machine*. His exceptional skills were further recognized when he beautifully reworked Vast Aire & MF Doom's song "Superfriends" for Adult Swim's free "Chocolate Swim E.P." MP3 download.
In addition to his collaborations, Edan has worked on various projects alongside renowned DJ and producer *Cut Chemist*. Together, they have created music that captivates audiences with its unique blend of sounds and styles.

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

While Edan’s critically acclaimed debut, ‘Primitive Plus’, was a celebration of hip-hop’s golden age and a true throwback, his sophomore album, ‘Beauty And The Beat’, is a vast musical collage that contains many different influences; hip-hop, rock, pop, dusty breaks, hazy loops, luxurious off-kilter samples and curveball tempo changes that are all crafted into one cohesive piece of art.

In 2015, FACT placed it at number 30 on the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list. In 2013 NME placed it at number 392 on the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list.
