  • Bio

    In a hip-hop world polarized by bubble gum rap and burdensome consciousness, New York rapper Malachi Grant (formerly known as Merksmilez) is on a mission to find a balance; to bring feel good hip-hop music back to the forefront. And he's not in it for the fame or fortune either; music is his therapy. Every lyric, drum line and flow is a connection to his existence and at the same time is an escape from his reality. Citing a wide array of musical influences such as LL Cool J, Big L, Rakim, Biggie, Mase, Tupac and Nas, Malachi's sound walks the border where feel-good music and story–telling meet. It's soulful sounding and reminiscent of mid-90s hip-hop – positive and thought provoking with flows that make you bop your head and punch lines that make you laugh out loud. In 2009 Malachi released "Just That Ill" a mix tape that earned critical acclaim from blogs, radio and magazines nationwide. With his first full length album to be released this year, Malachi has grown and is inspiring others to grow. "The whole purpose of struggling is to be able to grow. Sonically it's going to be more geared towards the sounds of today. The structure is going to be more contemporary with just a touch of jazz and rock and roll. It's going to represent where I am today." Malachi continues the album process and is releasing new material that doesn't make the cut, Stay tuned.
