Steven Malcolm intends to make 2022 his breakout year.

He sets the tone with the spellbinding track “Respect”.

The Michigan emcee has officially announced his third studio album entitled Tree. The project is set to release on April 15, 2022, via IVAV. Tree is an eclectic depiction of Malcolm’s past, present, and future. Beginning with the lead single, “Respect” (listen below), along with a 5-city tour, Malcolm is curving the fakes and claiming a stake as an exceptional force in hip hop. No questions asked.

Respect

“This record is about putting some respect on my name.” – Steven Malcolm

“Respect” is a follow-up to the bangers “Rooftop Freestyle” which was co-produced by Grammy Award winners BoogzDaBeast, FNZ, and Dayme alongside “On Point” that features Dove Award winner KB.

With smooth, inventive rhyme schemes, Malcolm flows seamlessly over the Sango-produced record. “He (Sango) sent it o me and I finished it honestly in an hour. Just one of those records you hear and dive in,” explains Malcolm. After accumulating more than 58 million global DSP streams and 13.1 million YouTube views in 2021, Malcolm’s desire to elevate his name is a constant theme on his forthcoming album.

“Respect” hit digital music retailers on February 4, 2022. Hear it live on Malcolm’s tour featuring Jude Barclay and Mark the Baddguy

Long Live the Hype Tour

“Jamaicans pronounce the number 3, tree. This being my third studio album, [it] focused on the growth and fruit that came from a foundation rooted in truth.” – Steven Malcolm
