BI OG R A PH Y

Imagine your favorite West-Coast rapper, put him on beats both influenced by East Coast,
and down-south production influenced by the likes of Outkast, 8 Ball & MJG, and Big Mike.
You get 19-year-old New Orleans-bred emcee and producer Malik Ninety Five. With one
release under his belt, Malik has achieved both local and international attention from major
publications who are supporting him on a first-go. In his eponymous debut project the production on the mixtape is also handled by Malik Ninety Five, along with production partner
Justus Clarke. This project has features from frequent collaborators King Haley, Gene Stanza,
and many more Southern Rap upand-comers.In this project, Malik takes you on a sonically
driven roller-coaster ride over dynamic instrumentals with an unmatched flow, and presence
on songs. With a catalog of less than 12-songs, Malik has still been able to receive support
from outlets like Pigeons & Planes, DJ Booth, Respect Magazine, and BLUNTIQ, with a
SXSW showcase, and more shows lined up for the rest of 2015. The New Orleans upstart has
found relative success, but hopes to progress as time progresses.
