Have you ever started to speak and nothing came out? Not because you had nothing to say, but because you physically were unable to. Intertwine that dilemma with performing in front of a countless number of screaming fans. That’s the challenge J LyriKal faces every day of his life… BUT HE LOVES IT!

Jeffrey Kenneth Mallison, better known for his stage name J LyriKal (aka JLK), is an American rapper/songwriter out of Detroit, Michigan. His path to success has been riddled with obstacles, beginning with a severe speech impediment that he has battled since birth.

On Easter Morning, 2013, The Oakland Press published an eye-opening article about J LyriKal and his disability. He was born with a stutter, which has hampered him throughout his life. In his high school years, he was required to get up in front of class to present his work just like everyone else. A two-minute presentation could take double or even triple the amount of time to get his point across. Jeff couldn't even carry on a normal conversation, let alone get up in front of a class of 30 people and present a school project.

This is when JLK was reborn. He found a way to express his feelings in a way he  could have never imagined. Who would of thought a person who struggled to complete a presentation, without stumbling upon his words.. Could get up and perform his music in front of a large audience without the stutter hindering his ability. Hip-Hop gave him the outlet he needed to speak his mind and express his feelings to the world. When he steps on stage, or goes into the studio to record, the stuttering disappears altogether! As he states, “I believe I was put on this Earth to do this, and I won’t stop until I succeed.”

Over time, JLK has transformed into a lyrical genius, with an ability to tell a story with immense creativity. J LyriKal is working with Grammy award-winning producers & engineers, such as Tony “56” Jackson and Todd Fairall. He has performed at birthday parties for celebrities, such as Detroit Pistons All-Star, Andre Drummond. He has also shared the stage with Detroit legends Kuniva and Swifty McVay of D12, Lil’ Flip, Lil’ Wyte, Neisha Ne'shae, and Snow Tha Product.

What’s next? In the Summer of 2017, JLK will be going on tour with the Edutainment Vision Mentorship Program, inspiring and motivating teens and young adults across the country about how they can overcome any obstacle if you set goals and put 100% into what they’re trying to accomplish. He will also be speaking in front of middle/high school language arts classes to explain the art behind poetry and rhyme schemes, while also stressing how everyone should be treated equal based on their looks, skin color, and/or disability.

J LyriKal is currently not under label representation, but we are confident that he will find the label that will be representing him on his journey to the top. JLK continues on his everyday grind to succeed at what he loves most -- music. He will not stop until the world knows who J LyriKal is!
