Following up on their popular “Chelsea” single, Malcolm Anthony and Squidnice, have blessed the hip-hop world with a tape that weaves you through the adventures of Mal & Squid.
Fresh, catchy, and confident, the First 48 tape brilliantly showcases the rappers’ effortless ability to craft hooks and melodies. Even the origin story of Mal & Squid is stuff of legends: they met one night, took a bunch of shrooms, and then 48 hours later had a tape that was entirely freestyled.
Featured in publications like Pigeons & Planes, Complex, Noisey (and even more), these artists are a force to be reckoned with. Squidnice was recently put up for 2018 XXL Freshman, and Malcolm Anthony has played hundreds of shows around the world, making them a powerful, dangerous duo.
The First 48 will hook you from verse one and keep your attention all the way through the last bar. Take a listen for yourself and find out why Mal & Squid are being dubbed by some as hip-hop’s next great duo.
