Malki Means King takes a trip to the S.F. zoo! Watch out for the angry gorilla who pounds on the glass behind Malki as he films his shots! Malki Means King compares living in his city (Berkeley aka B Town) to living in a Jungle. This song is a metaphor for what goes on day to day where I am from. I am the greatest. BMG 4 Life
Filmed By: Juey Starberry (Aka Starberry Films) He is RAW
Edited By: Malki Means King
Song was produced by Malki Means King, with the help of B Allen! I Originally made this beat for B Allen, but it was so clean and the concept was so unique we agreed I should use it for my mixtape. We sat down and he helped me pick the unique sounds in the music, listen to the beat, there is flutes playing, drums beating, lions growling and a wild man yelling in the background.

A summary of different hip-hop styles
In the hip-hop genre, every artist is unique. This is influenced by many factors, a key one being their origins, which can often help to mould their specific interests and styles. However, there are a few categories that most artists come under and for those who are new to the genre of hip-hop music, here is a quick summary of the significant ones.
A popular heading is that of east coast hip-hop. Originating on the streets of New York city, this style of music has developed many sub-genres of its own, most still retaining the label of street music. Many people listen to this, on their way home from work, while playing Party Poker or while hosting a party. If we have east coast hip, then we must also have west coast hip-hop, which indeed has its own style. Under this heading, you will find lyrical hip-hop, as well as lowrider music, G-funk and freestyles.
Artists like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are known for advocating the style of gangsta rap. This includes heavy beats and aggressive lyrics, which are often finding themselves creating controversy nowadays. Another type of rap music is known as conscious rap, which focusses on the need for change and improvement of the world. Rappers of this nature often make their lines about the need for radical social change and development of the self.
Battle rap is often hailed as the most lyrically complicated and superior. It often contains rhymes that seek self-glorification and rappers tend to boast about their own success. They then hurl insults at their opposition, in an entertaining way in which they give as good as they get. Artists who rap in this style include Jay-Z and LL Cool J. There are many other kinds of hip-hop, all unique and recognisable. Most people tend to prefer one to the others, although it all comes under the main heading of hip-hop.
Malki Means King raps about letting go and giving your faith to a higher power in this video. In order to achieve your goals and overcome any obstable, I believe a faith in a higher power is needed. Nobody can do it by themselves, Let go and God!
