Malaki

The 19 year old rapper has already had an extremely busy 2019, developing his live show in venues across the country such as Whelan’s and The Sugar Club, as well as at multiple festivals over the summer including Forbidden Fruit and Beatyard.

Experimenting with a variety of hip-hop styles, including poetry and spoken-word, Malaki synthesises a rich and original interpretation of Dublin life and seamlessly fuses personal expression with sharp social and political critique. Songs like ‘FromGrace’ and ‘Spreadsheets and Love Notes’ display an ability to craft witty, tongue-in-cheek lyrics injected with an air of self-aware braggadocio, while tracks such as ‘Paper Prophecies’ and ‘J.A.C.K.’ reveal a more introspective, socially invested side.

Malaki’s debut E.P.‘Butterfly Boy’ Released on 14th December explored themes of family, friendship, love, heartbreak, desire, loss and frustration and quickly garnered great momentum and a strong foundation of dedicated fans.Keep an eye out.Since the release of his highly anticipated debut EP “Butterfly Boy” Malaki and his producer Matthew Harris have wasted no time in the new year.
