Powerful and proud, MaLLy shines brightly for the Twin Cites. His booming voice takes up space over top of any instrumental. MaLLy is very aware of his presence and you can hear it in his verses. MaLLy spits with a purpose; with a passion.
MaLLy started gaining momentum with his first release "The Passion" - oddly enough I started recording this project with MaLLy, our version didn't see the light of day though. TQD had slipped me some of his lesser known projects (both are available on his Bandcamp). "The Moment" was my first exposure to him. It was clear, powerful and uplifting. I mentioned his presence once before, but hearing it will make the concept clear. He is blessed with a voice that demands attention, he jumps out of your headphones. Coupled with clever lines, deep metaphors and just enough ego to make you envy him - his verses quickly become mini-anthems.
On more than one occasion he references 'The Renaissance' - this is what he is building. It's a return to classical Hip-Hop with the knowledge of today. MaLLy sounds at home over ear-knocking drums and thick samples, or with his go to producer: The Sundance Kid filling in with synthetic synths and atmospheric noise. He is one part familiar/one part new, the perfect union of old hip-hop soul with new energized sound/ability.
This trailer for his newest project "The Last Great" showcases his great use of metaphor and creative process. The album is a head knocker from front to back - showcasing MaLLy at both highs and lows of his life. He will be releasing a video for "Winner" sometime in the very near future, otherwise his YouTube Channel is full of visual goodies.
