LG Malique, born and raised in Arkansas, initially developed a passion for music following a short period of dancing. His grandmother played a pivotal role in nurturing his early recording endeavors, allowing him to uncover his genuine talent as a vocalist. He gained significant attention on SoundCloud with his hit track “Sideline,” which paved the way for his independent debut EP, 100 Days, along with notable singles such as “Change” and “Selfsih Ways.” As his audience expanded, so did his musical repertoire, culminating in the release of two EPs—Long Story Short and Colorblind—that highlighted his ability to intertwine profound emotion with compelling narratives.
“A lot of people gave up on me, but don’t ever think you can put out my burning desire,” he said. “When you keep going, miracles happen.” Malique, with his emotive tenor and unabashed passion, crafts melodic street anthems that resonate with the common individual. His agile vocals and fervent narratives create powerful underdog anthems that capture the essence of resilience and ambition. This artistic blend is once more showcased in Living Gold, a polished collection of affirmations centered on survival, seamlessly transitioning between sophisticated trap beats and introspective confessions. Both sincere and unwaveringly genuine, this is music for dreamers, intended for those who hold onto their beliefs.
Malique expressed, “I rise up to face a lot of challenges today.” His lyrics, set against a refined musical backdrop, pose a poignant question: “Why must I abuse drugs to numb my suffering and find peace?”
Malique, vibrant and full of energy, exhibits no indications of diminishing momentum. Influenced by artists such as Fantasia, Alicia Keys, and Three 6 Mafia, he was inquired about the advice he would offer to aspiring musicians seeking to establish their presence in the music industry. He said, “Stay focused. Work hard and good things will happen.”
