2004 FDME Presents: Malik B Street Assault
What started out as guest appearances on Organix (The Roots first album, 1993)
for the South Philly native, transposed into a full-time career for this anomaly
of an Emcee named Malik B AKA M_Illitant AKA M-80 AKA.....He's world reknowned.
He's toured throughout all of U.S and Europe. He's performed with the legendary
Last Poets and Roy Ayers to jam sessions with Jill Scott.
Malik B has also recorded, toured and performed with a plethora of artists
including:
Erykah Badu, Guru, Common, Q-Tip, Flow Brown, Beanie Siegal, The Pharcyde, De La
Soul, Busta Rhymes, The Fugees, Scott Storch, James Poyser, DJ Premiere, and
Diamond D.
Many would assume his demise following Things Fall Apart. They assumed wrong.
While being nomadic by nature, it was inevitable for Malik B bumps heads with
Hakim Woods of FDME to produce what some would call a confessional album
consisting of raw freestyles from the gut.
This ill CD was created by Malik B and F.D.M.E's Emcee Haak Blast to start a
buzz for Malik B's solo recordings. However, it became bigger than expected!
Because of "Street Assault", Malik B will now be on The Roots' last album on
Geffen Records coming 2005.
