Malkovich The Globetrotting Rapper By RAPstation Staff Three years after saying goodbye to a permanent mattress and all his worldly possessions, rapper Malkovich embarked on an open ended global walkabout from Los Angeles to…everywhere. His journey has a definite purpose, but follows no set path. The purpose is the quest for otherworldly beats while exploring personal freedoms and building a global network.

After linking up with producers that he clicks with through his Twitter page, Malkovich literally brings the project to

It's next to impossible to put down the creative genius that is Cookin' Soul. With nearly a decade of remixes, and mashups under their belts, the Spanish duo have proven to the world that they have a knack for bringing out the best in any artist they decide to sonically reconstruct. But what would happen if they took a direct flight to Queens? On the Big Noyd, Large Professor and Kool G Rap featured street banger, "Naturally Born," that's exactly what happens. After recently appearing on the decennary compilation LP, Unearthed, the original Ayatollah produced head nodder, provided a nostalgic backdrop for the trio to do their thing; this time around, Cookin' Soul have taken the track to new heights by giving an Uprock-themed overhaul to the original, connecting more to the era of S

Consisting of 5-Star, O'Nill & Nivek, Dezert Eez formed at Western Michigan University, located in Kalamazoo, MI (the “Microbrew Capital”) and after performing on the local circuit for a year, the trio began making waves in Detroit's underground scene. In early 2005, Dezert Eez released its first mixtape, The Realness, which won widespread critical praise that focused especially on the group’s lyrics. The buzz helped them earn a raft of high-profile outside gigs, including shows with KRS-One, Dead Prez, Slum Village and a mini tour with Wu Tang Clan's Inspectah Deck. Dezert Eez leapt to a bigger stage in 2008 when 5-Star teamed up with M-Eighty, Killah Priest, C-Rayz Walz and Bronze Nazareth to form The Almighty. The album also featured hip hop legends Canibus, Keith Mur

Toronto Emcee THEOLOGY 3 (Stylistik 89.5fm, Freedom Writers, Camp X) is proud to release this content driven, hard driving project for public consumption reflecting on a wide variety of social issues, aggressive lyricism and musically diverse beats.

Additional production is provided by highly regarded producer AMIR (Drake, Shad) and multi instrumentalist SY WYLD (Arabesque).
