Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that's as unique as his multi-cultural background. It'sa diverse sound grounded in rap's rhythmic delivery, pop's modern melodies, and God's word,glued together by a street-smart artist whose music has earned five Dove Award nominations andmore than 57 million streams.Released in 2021, All Is True blurs the boundaries between Christian music and larger-than-lifehip-hop, delivering universal songs about faith, family, and fidelity. This is hip-hop with a heart,mixing the spirituality of Sunday morning with the energy of Saturday night. It's also an extension of the sound Malcolm has spent the better part of a decade crafting. Raised by a familywhose Jamaican-born patriarch was deported back to the Caribbean when his son was only 10years old, Malcolm first turned to music for a source of stability. He found success in the hip-hop underground with his independent debut, Monster's Ink, then built a larger audience with 2017'sself-titled Steven Malcolm. Nominated for three GMA Dove Awards, Steven Malcolm was followed by The Second City, which debuted at Number 11 on Billboard's hip-hop chart in 2019.
