Fast-rising rapper Leek Mali has returned with his brand-new EP, Summer Forever, a four-track collection of soulful hip-hop that embodies the genre’s golden era, with a fresh and modern twist. Hailing from Prince George's County, Maryland, Leek only burst on the scene in 2020 but already has several notable releases under his belt, such as “Party Time” and “400+ Years”, and he looks set to continue his momentum with this latest release.

Having been a music fan since discovering one of his dad’s Sugarhill CDs as a child, Leek showcases his full range of talents on Summer Forever, with the project highlighting his unique voice, varied cadence and impressive penmanship – a formidable combination that makes for a fascinating listen. The EP’s opening track, “Summer Forever”, sets the tone for what becomes a diverse collection of sounds throughout the project that stretch beyond typical hip-hop genre conventions and offer something unique, such as on closing track “Sent2U”, which includes Baltimore trumpeter Brandon Woody playing live on the track. “Sent2U” is particularly special to Leek, as it marks the debut of The SentruEz, a new genre-bending duo formed of Leek and singer-songwriter Tadiwa.

Speaking more on the project, Leek says, “Summer Forever represents graduating from college and finally having the world in the palm of my hands. I can now do whatever, whenever because I'm finally free from the shackles of school. I get to live in the summer forever because nothing is holding me back from accomplishing my dreams.

“The project was created within the last couple weeks of college before I graduated this past May. I had a euphoric feeling during this time because I felt so accomplished and was excited for what the future held for me. My team, including Jordan Ali, Tadiwa, NotEye, Nepado, and Mastered.minds and I teamed up and created tracks that fed off of how we've contributed to elevating each other’s artistry, which explains the features.”

Driving in his own lane with a clear vision of how he wants to present his artistry to the world, Leek Mali is a much-welcomed addition to the hip-hop scene and is undoubtedly a talent to watch out for. And with more new content, including visuals, on the way, he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

About

Leek Mali hails from Prince George's County, Maryland. A long-time music lover turned artist, he revels in using his heightened musicality, unique voice, varied flow and impressive lyricism to share with listeners stories about his life. He traces his love of hip-hop back to when he was six years old and found a Sugarhill CD in his dad’s music collection. “Once ‘Rapper's Delight’ ended I knew I had fallen in love with hip-hop, my first love”, says Leek. He later developed his own musicianship, which he credits to playing alto sax during his middle school years at a performing arts academy.

Now at the age of 22, Leek is ready to share with the world all the music he’s been working on since deciding to take music seriously during college. “I started writing poetry my freshman year of college due to a depression phase transitioning into adulthood”, says Leek. “The poetry was my safe place of finding myself. Those poems eventually transitioned into raps.” He’s off to a flying start too, with a string of notable releases over the last year and support from prestigious hip-hip platforms such as The Source. And his new project, Summer Forever, which is out now on all platforms, looks set to propel him to even greater heights.
