Steven Malcolm's new single "Accelerate" out today, featured in Spotify's "New Music Friday Christian" + new album 'Tree' arrives on 4/15
Steven Malcolm delivers an earsplitting new track “Accelerate” featuring Canon from his forthcoming album Tree available April 15. Over boisterous production, Malcolm spits versatile flows reinforced by an explosive guest verse by Billboard-charting rapper Canon. Listen to the song on Spotify's "New Music Friday Christian" HERE.
“Accelerate is all about the race of life,” says Malcolm. The song arrives less than two weeks after ending his Long Live The Hype tour, which received praise from regional outlets like Local Spins, among others. “It’s an honor to have my brother Canon on this record with me,” he adds.
The Grand Rapids, Michigan natives are a dynamic duo on “Accelerate”. “His verse is insane,” declares Malcolm, who drops a flawless verbal onslaught packed with imaginative metaphors. “Hit the gas, I’m the highest in the room how I elevate,” he raps in a swaggering cadence. “Accelerate” moves at the velocity of an action flick. The ferocity of the production is infectious and intensifies each rhyme. “Hit that throttle, take off on 'em, tell me who gon’ stop him.” Who can stop Steven Malcolm? “Accelerate” is a follow-up to the Sango-produced bop “Respect” HERE that landed on Apple Christian’s Best New Songs chart and popular playlists like Apple’s “Elevate” and Spotify’s “The Flow”.
On Malcolm’s upcoming album, all 16-tracks explore Malcolm’s spiritual depth and versatility as a hip-hop artist. From the international smash “Fuego (R3HAB Remix)” HERE featuring dancehall icon Shaggy (5 million combined Spotify streams) to the Dove Award-nominated anthem “Glory On Me” featuring Childish Major & Taylor Hill HERE, Malcolm mixes the spirituality of Sunday morning with the energy of Saturday night. Tree is an eclectic depiction of Malcolm’s past, present, and future with features from multiple award-winning artists such as Snoop Dogg, Shaggy, Social Club Misfits, and KB.
Today’s release is out via IVAV, a division of Curb | Word Entertainment. For updates and more information about Steven Malcolm please refer to the social media links below.
About Steven Malcolm:
Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that's as unique as his multi-cultural background. It's a 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 and more than 57 million streams.
Released in 2021, All Is True blurs the boundaries between Christian music and larger-than-life hip-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 family whose Ja-Jamaican-born patriarch was deported back to the Caribbean when his son was only 10 years old, Malcolm first turned to music as 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's self-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. Tracks like "Fuego'' highlighted his Jamaican roots and reggae influences (both of which were showcased on several remixes, which found Malcolm working alongside collaborators like Shaggy, R3HAB, The SoulBots, and Melanie Pfirrman), while a Dove-nominated remix of "Even Louder" featured his duet with seven-time Grammy nominee Natalie Grant.
