About Steven Malcolm:
Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that’s as unique as his multicultural background. It’s a sound rooted in rap’s rhythmic delivery, pop’s modern melodies, and God’s word, glued together by an artist whose music has earned five Dove Award nominations and millions of DSP streams.
His music is an eclectic depiction of Malcolm’s past, present, and future. Delivering powerful rhymes straight from heaven, Malcolm offers a blend of alluring bops for any occasion. His dynamic, crafty storytelling incorporates a broad range of creative influences. He doubled down on his talents with his landmark 2022 album, Tree. The messages of hope and redemption throughout the album came from his own experience.
Raised in western Michigan and coastal Florida, he grew up in search of stability. His father, a native Jamaican who had emigrated from Montego Bay, was deported back to the Caribbean when Steven was just 10 years old, and later passed away before the two could reunite. Steven’s mother struggled as a single parent and eventually left town, leaving her son to fend for himself as a young college student. His life lacked a clear direction until he accepted a friend’s invitation to attend a local church service that incorporated hip-hop, dance, and worship.
That church — the Edge Urban Fellowship — changed Steven’s life. It gave him a community, as well as a place to make purpose-driven music. Between performances with the church’s worship team, he finished work on his independent debut album, Monster’s Ink, which became an underground success. Before long, Steven’s reputation had extended far beyond the Midwest and attracted attention from major labels. He signed with Word Entertainment, a division of Curb Records, becoming the first rapper on a roster filled with the musical heavyweights of the faith-based world.
Released in 2017, the self-titled Steven Malcolm marked his major-label debut. Songs like “Hot Boy,” “Never Let You Go,” and the pop-rap tune “Party in the Hills” became hits, rooted in a wide-ranging mix of trap, boom-bap, South Atlanta hip-hop, and pop. He played nearly 100 shows that year — including arena dates on the Winter Jam Tour — and earned three GMA Dove Awards, laying the foundation for an even bigger splash with the album’s follow-up, The Second City. Named after his father’s hometown of Montego Bay, the so-called “Second City” of Jamaica, The Second City was a hard-hitting, lyrically driven record that focused on optimistic themes. The album debuted at #11 on Billboard’s hip-hop chart in 2019 and received a Dove nomination for Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year. It also produced several hit singles, including the Top 40 Christian hit “Not To Us / Good Love,” the Dove-nominated “Even Louder” remix featuring Natalie Grant, and “Fuego.”
A blend of Steven’s Jamaican roots and reggae influences, “Fuego” became one of the most diverse hits of his career and received several remixes. The tropical “Fuego (Remix)” arrived in 2020, featuring an appearance from Shaggy and including a cinematic music video. Shaggy also appeared on “Fuego (R3HAB Remix),” which was released later that same year, as well as 2021’s “Fuego (The SoulBots Remix),” which featured vocals from Latin pop singer Melanie Pfirrman. Together, the “Fuego” remixes racked up millions of streams across all DSPs in less than two years.
With Malcolm’s growing success, he’s eager to stake a claim as a leading voice in faith-based hip-hop music.
