Steven Malcolm has flows as vibrant as his drip in the official music video for Cardio.

The SALT Productions-directed visual showcases Malcolm’s undeniable star power.

The music video follows the September 15, 2023 release of the single. Cardio will appear on Malcolm’s forthcoming studio LP. Ramping things up with the video, Steven Malcolm explained the thoughts that went into creating both the record and the visual…

“I wanted to make an anthem I would have listened to in the high school locker room before a big game,” shares Malcolm. “This song is all about owning the greatness that results from hard work and dedication.”

The visual encapsulates Malcolm’s favorite things: Christ, dance, exercise, fashion, and fellowship. His pizazz legitimizes his aim of becoming CHH’s next crossover emcee.

About “Cardio” by Steven Malcolm

Cardio‘s fiery anthem follows Malcolm’s monstrous bop “Monster” which featured UK Christian trio LZ7.

The rising hip-hop heavyweight pounds the pavement with a dose of motivation to inspire listeners to rise above life’s biggest obstacles.

“We all have a race to run. To be great and keep keeping on takes two things: a little inspiration and cardio!”

Cardio is available now on all digital platforms. The energetic track sets the tone for Malcolm’s next album.

Preparing for the next Steven Malcolm Album

Poised for release in early 2024, the Michigan native’s next studio LP is the highly anticipated follow-up to his familial 16-track project, Tree. ‘Tree’ recently received a 2023 GMA Dove Award nomination in the Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year Category. The nod marks Malcolm’s seventh career Dove Award nomination.

New Steven Malcolm Album

Monster will be featured on Malcolm’s forthcoming album. It serves as a rallying cry for those feeling conflicted.

Malcolm’s next album is scheduled for a fall 2023 release.

This first single sets the tone for a story of faith and triumph. He is known for creating faith-driven hip-hop that is as unique as his multicultural background. It’s a sound rooted in rap’s rhythmic delivery, pop’s modern melodies, and God’s word. The music is an eclectic depiction of Malcolm’s past, present, and future.

Following the success of ‘Tree’, the bar has been set high for the Michigan-based artist. Expectations for the next project are through the roof. If Monster is any indication, Steven Malcolm is fully prepared for the challenge.

The fusion flaunts Malcolm’s ability to incorporate various sounds and styles into his music.

The record features LZ7 and is the first single off of Malcolm’s forthcoming album that is due out Fall 2023.

“Steven Malcolm is here to change the stigma of Christian Hip-Hop for the better.” – All Hip-Hop

Steven Malcolm is back with a monstrous new track featuring LZ7

Monster is produced by Jimmy James and Dayme. The song highlights Steven’s battle with inner demons.

After releasing his landmark album ‘Tree‘ in 2022, the 5-time GMA Dove Award nominee continues to position himself as a leading voice in faith-based hip-hop music. Now, over rapid 808s and synthesizing bass lines, Malcolm depicts the disruptive forces aiming for his flesh. His swift flows are delivered in a melodic riddim that nods to his Jamaican roots. The powerful lyricism fortifies LZ7’s poignant hook, “There’s a monster living underneath/If I said there wasn’t I’d be lying through my teeth/So will I finally find me and find the real me/Will I finally find me and set the monster free.”

“I’ve always loved the drill sound,” says Steven. “The link up with LZ7 was perfect because it brought the sound of the UK and the heart of Jesus all in one room. I wanted to go beyond the surface and talk about something we all struggle with. The inner evil desires.”

This is Malcolm’s first collaboration with the rap-dance outfit hailing from the UK.

LZ7’s frontman Lindz West’s hypnotic vocals amplify Malcolm’s suave, tactful rhymes. The solemn theme reinforces Malcolm’s ambition to be transparent and relatable to his listeners. “Don’t try n lie to me/What be inside be haunting and wicked/Daily I pry/Peel back the layers/It took me a minute/Faithful I battle/Sword on my side I”M READY TO DRILL IT!”

Monster sets the tone for Steve Malcolm’s forthcoming album

The song serves as a rallying cry for those feeling conflicted.

It’s a story of faith and triumph as listeners hear Malcolm slay his demons. Over the weekend, the Michigan-bred hip-hop artist shared his impassioned bops with more than 30,000 music fans. Steven performed at the UK’s “Big Church Festival 2023”. The long-running music festival is known for showcasing the best Christian artists in the world.
