Malik Elijah - BRANDNEW (Video)

Fresh off the release of his three-track EP “Smoke Signals,” Malik Elijah has been pursuing different ways to promote his recent singles, and I happen to come across one of them on our Twitter feed during the weekend. He dropped back-to-back visuals of his singles off the EP, with the most recent video being to his record “BRANDNEW,” which was stand out joint personally for me since I felt like he rapped with so much raw thought & perseverance that it had a staple of charisma backed to it. He’s one of the sharpest pens in hip-hop and not talked about as often as he should; if my writing can do anything, it’s to have more of our fanbase hop on his wave before it starts flooding over.

Malik begins the record talking about his need for a box Chevy sitting on 22s in chrome while boxing anyone to get himself peace of mind & a home. The punchlines are heavy, and the wordplay showcases vivid imagery; Malik Elijah is poetry mixed with passion, and he makes you hear his story every time he gets to spitting. Don’t come around acting brand new when he starts to hit the scene; if you’ve been in for a while and it’s not working, don’t bother reinventing yourself because his presence will speak volumes, and they won’t hear you anymore. I like the creative approach to the side-by-side screen and that it’s placed in black & white giving you the reaction of boastful emotions. He spills heaps of soul when he gets going, and when he starts rapping, you can feel it from the heart where it shows you his come-up and his future rolled in one. Once he goes off stand back, his ability to be immaculate and unstoppable is shown in full force in the release, and why in no time, he’ll become your new favorite rapper.

It’s highly recommended you go back and check out his latest EP & previous mixtapes. He’s talked before not yet dropping an album and will not be planning to until 2024. We don’t want to speculate if any more tapes are dropping since we like to be surprised by his release, but we recommend you stay tuned to his social media pages for announcements. Please get familiar with Malik Elijah here by checking out his latest release and sharing it around on all social media avenues.
