LG Malique Spits Truth, Not Fairytales in his new EP “Carved In Gold”
We’re thrilled to introduce you to one of the most exciting artists emerging on the music scene this year: LG Malique. He creates music for the everyday listener, blending the sounds of the streets with his own life experiences, all infused with honesty and raw emotion.
Long before his debut, Malique was a young boy absorbing the sights and sounds of Blytheville, Arkansas, where his mother and aunts introduced him to the musical testimonies of artists like Alicia Keys, Usher, and Fantasia. He officially stepped onto the scene in 2019 with his EP “100 Days,” making an unforgettable first impression and proving what he was capable of. He kept the momentum going in 2023 with projects like “Long Story Short” and “Colorblind,” both reaffirming his ability to craft music that was as emotionally powerful as it was impossible to ignore. No matter the obstacles he has faced, LG Malique refuses to let anything stand in the way of his next—and greatest—offering.
Fast-forward to today, and Malique is engaging his audience with his latest EP, “Carved In Gold.” Its core themes are resilience and positivity in the face of adversity. The project kicks off with the hard-hitting “Don’t Come Closer,” showcasing his sharp rapping skills and making it clear he’s not here to play. Another standout is “Never Judge Ya,” an unapologetic anthem about acceptance. “Make Ya Mama Proud” continues the theme of honoring his mother, one of the most influential figures in his life, as the driving force behind his actions. Meanwhile, “Give It To God” remains as powerful and resonant as ever.
The highlight of the project, “Explaining How It Is,” features a collaboration with Jacksonville rapper Yungeen Ace. Incorporating classic R&B elements like piano and organ, the song reaches new heights of emotional depth. Malique’s chemistry with Yungeen Ace makes for an explosive and unforgettable collaboration.
LG Malique continues his ascent with Carved In Gold, delivering his story with authenticity and proving that this is just the beginning of the incredible story he has to tell.
