Malkovich - Great Expectations

Irangeles (Iran/Los Angeles) lyricist Malkovich presents the music video for "Through The Trees", from his new album Great Expectations, written and recorded in New York City, New Orleans, Atlanta and Los Angeles after Malkovich gave up his home and possessions to travel indefinitely. "Expectations" is produced by L.A. beatsmith Josh The Goon, best known for his work with Freddie Gibbs and DaVinci. The video was shot in Queens, New York City by Mazzi of S.O.U.L. Purpose and was edited by J Spealz. Expectations is Malkovich's followup to his Ayatollah Presley mixtape hosted by deejay/producer House Shoes (watch the video to the Dibia$e-produced "WTF"), and videos to four Expectations tracks - "Lies" (watch), "What I Know" (watch), "Palms" (watch) and "Through The Trees" (watch) have already been released. "[Malkovich] is owning everyone in the current scene, and you better believe it," says HitTheFloor Magazine. DJ Premier played the Great Expectations cut "Bedbugs" on the January 18 edition of his Live From Headqcourterz mixshow (listen). Great Expectations is available as a free download for a limited time.

Malkovich - Lies

Its been a while since I heard anything from this guy. Seems he has improved since his last song.

Malkovich - Palms

This song was send to my mailbox and I forgot to give it a listen, after listening I kinda felt that I shouldve shared it way earlier becuase its actually a pretty good song and it deserves more exposure!

A man dying slowly in the truck he calls home. Another, hauling boxes at a market in exchange for a spot in a storage box where he sleeps each night. Immigrants, actors, recovering drug addicts, college students and true blue Angelenos, all trying to rent themselves one more month in the waiting room, one more month for their dreams to come true. This is life in Palms, L.A.'s most diverse and densely populated neighborhood, where Snoop Dogg caught his murder case, and where "everybody's on their way somewhere else", as emcee and eight-year resident Malkovich says on his dedication to his adopted home. The people and places of Palms take center stage in the video, directed, filmed and edited firsthand by Malkovich.
