About Me

Malik in Arabic means King and Master. The I stands for I-Cient that is a derivation of the word Ancient representing the I or little self/physical manifestation that the I or self is timeless redefining what is old or new or past and present. The M stands for Majesty that is symbolic of the realization of our regal and royal lineage as descendants of men and women who lived and died with a higher purpose and sense of self. Symbolic of our ability to name and create for ourselves (KUJICHAGULIA).Malik I.M. aka Sun Toucha I, Nomad Emcee, and some others make up the faces of Zion Horizon looking to build a musical ensemble strong in sound, spirit, and commitment to excellence using the umbrella known as Infidel minus the Crew.
