@steven_malcolm — Steven Malcolm

Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that's as unique as his multi-cultural background. It's a sound grounded in rap's rhythmic delivery, pop's modern melodies, and God's word, glued together by a diverse artist whose music has earned seven Dove Award nominations and more than 130 million streams. Raised by a family whose Jamaican-born patriarch was deported back to the Caribbean when his son was 9 years old, Malcolm turned to music for a source of stability. He found success in the hip-hop underground with his independently debut, Monster's Ink, then signed a deal with Word Entertainment. Tracks like "Fuego" highlighted his Jamaican roots and reggae influences (both of which were showcased again in 2020, when Malcolm teamed up with Shaggy for the larger-than-life "Fuego Remix"), while a Dove-nominated remix of "Even Louder" found him duetting with seven-time Grammy nominee Natalie Grant.
