About Steven Malcolm:

Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that's as unique as his multi-cultural 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 seven Dove Award nominations and more than

130 million streams. With his new single, YES, Malcolm teams up with Grammy Award Winning artist for KING & COUNTRY. Malcolm says of the song: YES is a powerful anthem born out of the deep places of pain, shame, and guilt—the moments when we feel most unworthy and distant from God. YES tells the story of divine grace that never waivers, even when we do. It speaks to the heart of every believer who has questioned their value, reminding them that God’s response is always love, always mercy, always YES. His last album, BOATS, dropped anchor February 23, 2024. An acronym for “Based On A Truth Story,” BOATS transports listeners to a utopia of Malcolm’s own creation. On an introspective island where the truth of God’s Word meets our humanity, the concept record explores tales of brokenness and subsequent redemption that have shaped the hip-hop leader’s own story. The imaginative 16-track collection washes ashore with spiritual workout Top 10-and-climbing single “Cardio,” pulsating, wilderness playbook “40” and autobiographical selection “Nothing Into Something.” Malcolm's messages of hope and redemption come 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 9 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.

About Futuristic:

Growing up around music from his father & 8 siblings it was inevitable that Futuristic would be a natural. The household was filled with hip-hop, rock & funk vibes all giving the young artist an eclectic palate to begin a very successful journey. His professional career began in 2012 with the release of his first album “Dream Big”. From then till now he's done it all. His albums “The Rise” & “Coast 2 Coast” both premiered in the top 10 on Billboard in 2015 landing him on TV shows such as Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America & Good Day New York. His collaboration with superstar NF is now over 64 million streams on Spotify alone adding to the list of 70 other songs that have surpassed the 1 million stream milestone. Maybe more impressive, Futuristic has conquered a variety of other endeavors outside of music like opening a clothing store, landing his own clothing line in over 100 retail stores, writing a book, partnering in film properties, running a management company & starting the one stop shop for artists "Indie Amplify". Moving forward he has refocused himself on music telling his story over the most mature production we've seen yet. Always ahead of his time Futuristic plans to live up to his name with a new genre bending sound unlike anything you've ever heard from him.
