Malachi was born on July 25, 1978 on the south central side of los angeles california. His upbringing in the 74th st and hoover community in what has become one of the United States’ most deadly cities has given him the survival skills which have allowed him to endure the trials of life and the music industry to become a dynamic artist, who today stands on the brink of stardom. Like all stars that exist in the sky merely as gas in space waiting to burst into a beam of light, Malachi past began with a demure beginning. At the age of 10, he picked up his pen and took to writing short poems about the colorful imagery and pain he witnessed in his community. poems soon became the lyrics of malachi Victory’s verses. He did his first show at 68th street elementary school. There he rocked the mic and hooked up with friends Mista Cleave, young pudd and Tobias R.I.P. They decided to form a group called YBP (Young Black Playas) recording songs from a speaker to a tape recorder, until Malachi’s big brother Daebo paid for there studio time. He also got them a manager and she began to book shows for them all through the city. The exposure was good and the different venues were paying them but naive and unaware, their manager was pocketing the money. Personality conflicts and bad management caused the group to brake up. Still focus they continued to click up and do songs. In the end he realized that the music industry is not all about skills it‘s about power and numbers. How many units can you sale? It all comes down to dollar and cents, almost all of the successful artist in the music industry already made a buzz before their major deal. With the help of the label they were exposed to a broader audience with already having an existing fan base. That way the label is taken a smaller risk and the chances of them capitalizing is greater. That is when he came up with idea of THE TALKS OF l.a CITY. A Hot to Death mix tape, rapping over seld made beats beats with a few banging club tracks. Alongside young ril and other featured guest, instead of shopping his music to the labels he shopped his music to the street. Taking the road less traveled and keeping his eye on the prize Malachi is more than a rapper. He is new breed of a MC dope, fresh, smart, street, handsome, business minded, and knowledgeable. Putting all these different elements together in one is unheard of, making him a force in the industry to be to be reckoned with. Every move he made in his life was strictly for the love of music. In his own words, †With no regrets the only thing that I am bitter about is the love ones that are not here to see it with me. I do this for all my falling soldiers and fans. As long as the streets keep showing support I promise to keep putting out real music.â€
