Desert Funk! (stylized as M.C. Magic Presents Desert Funk! Soundtrack) is a studio album project produced by rapper M.C. Magic, on the independent label Nastyboy Records.

After releasing his first album Don't Worry in 1995, Marcus Cardenas found a hip-hop band called Nastyboy Klick, whose first album The First Chapter had attracted the attention of local radio stations, producing a number regional hits (particularly the single "Down for Yours" featuring Roger Troutman). Before recording the second Nastyboy Klick's album, Cardenas recruited several Phoenix-based artists to present him a so-called Desert Funk! Soundtrack compilation.

The album had thirteen tracks recorded with such artists as True Breed, Black Insane, Nastyboy Klick, CeCe Peniston, P.O.W. and Mandi. The song "I Know You Want Me" was released as a single, reaching number nine on the U.S. Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 R&B Singles in 1998.
