I borrowed that stardust line on my song Flawless Victory.... just saying Malev.

Fresh tracks brother, got my head moving for sure.

You got so much soul in your Voice. I love your Style, the deepness, i got goosebumps. Thank you for this Masterpiece

So good i listen to this everyday brotha. Much respect ❤️

Hey squad! It's a been awhile since I've come to drop a song on the page. I intended it to be not as long. Very much so, but we all learn things at our own pace and this track had a lot to teach me! And even maybe even something things in the future still yet to be learned. But fittingly, the track is called Adapt because that's what it's about and that's what it required from me. I could write a lengthy post on what went into making this track, but that's really what the Patreon is for these days. 

I really hope that you enjoy the song, and much love to my man Al Da Jazzmatic for letting me use his production to make this track.

Adapt: Produced by Al Da Jazzmatic[Lyrics in Description] Patreon Month 4 song

Greetings once again, I have returned with some more tunes to enhance the senses. 
I've been bringing out about 1 song a month, but I am wanting to change that.. and try to bring the number to 2 songs a month. It isn't something that is out of the realm of possibility.. but being a solo shinobi, things tend to take some time. 
Especially when I'm trying to branch out and bring some other levels to the music production, including photography, shooting video and editing video. 

Thank you for your continued support, comments, listens, likes.. It is greatly appreciated beyond what these words could ever convey. 
This song initially was just a lyrical exercise .. writing about something I considered fun, and more about 'me' personally than most of my songs are, talking about my feelings and what I think some days.. 
But, as the time went on while writing and making the song.. a few events took place that had a great effect on the outlook of the entire message of the song. 

The shooting down of commercial airliner, MH17.. where nearly 300 lives were gone in a few moments, and even more recently, the invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces. 
The death toll for innocent lives is very high.. and each day there are events that do not make the headlines where more innocent lives are brought into the path of destruction. 
For what?? 
I was wanting to make a song about staying focused, on the things that I felt were 'right'. 
About not being caught in the deviations of society, or the egoic mind. I see that a lot of people consider themselves decisive individuals, but.. I can also see that they live a life of constant change..
One can never arrive at the destination when the direction is constantly changing. This is what the song is about.. That the 'mind' is going to change, constantly.. It WILL. There is no choice in this matter.. If you look within yourself, I'm sure you could agree that most things that you have ever decided upon, have changed.. molded, formed to what IS..in REALITY..  not what is in your mind. That is what the song is about.. The mind changes, like the leaves in the seasons do. 

So understand the change, and try to not 'decide' all these things in the future, based on the past. We must be focused, present, alert in the NOW. The Past doesn't exist, the Future doesn't exist, not outside your imagination. Your entire life has unfolded only in 1 space. The infinite now, so focus on that time, and what is important.. Us, we.. Human life, and all forms of life.
Everything else is secondary, and since it is so, we must act as if so. 


Much love and Peace upon you, Thank you.. if you're reading these words now, please take a few moments out of your day to think over how you can inject change, goodness and love into peoples lives with your actions.. I know you can do it. 

It is not the action that will give you the reward, but the recognition on an inner level, that you have done something good to facilitate change, even in the course of 1 day..
It matters. Much love to Seize, for the instrumental.. and for always lending me sounds for my inspirations and giving me a space to express myself. 
Really means a lot to me.. Show Seize some love by visiting his SC page: https://soundcloud.com/seizebeats-1

Human: Produced By SeizeBeats [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings, once again. 

A great deal of time has passed since our last meet. It is with great pleasure I bring a new tune for you to listen to. 

I know it's been slow here on SC, but I must thank those who continue to show support, even during the down times. 
As an independent artist with a great deal of varied interest both productive and to detriment, I find myself being pulled in many directions without any strong polarization.

In truth the world has just been so interesting(and horrifying) to watch lately that it's hard to not be caught in the swell of the waves. So many recent social changes and events have taken place it will make your head hurt if you try to understand the greater picture from what takes place.

America sure is a strange place to live in these times. Interesting too.

But as the gigantic ball of chaotic beautiful energy swirls around the individual, the grasp of impact and change can escape oneself when feeling microscopic in comparison to the world. 
So instead of the macro - we focus on the micro, discover and focus on the areas of meaningful impact that we can actually forge with our own hands and minds. 

That is what this particular song is about. 

Reaction is akin to reflex. We often build up a reflex due to conditioning, it can be both of physical, and mental conditioning that bring about this reflexual reaction to a circumstance. 

When we have been scarred in the past, by a lover - or an physical injury. We may develop certain reactions to things that to us, resemble those pains. 

Have you ever reacted out of anger, triggered by a behavior or your lover that you cannot stand? Caught in a passion of instant expression. Only to regret what was said, or have to shamefully bury that regret deep inside. 
Reflex's and reactions can be good. 

But to the mind- they are not. Reaction of any form is a signal of conditioned behavior, and conditioned behavior is unconscious behavior. 

One cannot go beyond their own set of limitations of they cannot recognize this. 

Don't react. Respond. 
A response, is a considered - consciously aware statement. Quite different from a reflex that fires off without thought at all. 
In line with the rest of the hook - it comes down to honest, consciously reflected upon thought, that translates to statements that resonate with power, able to meet any moment correctly. 

Unlike a conditioned reflex, only able to react to a certain set. 

This song was a happy accident of sorts. 
The lyrics come from a different, unused source, where i was able to find a new sound to make them home. 

I thank you for reading, and listening. You have my gratitude.

Much love to @https://soundcloud.com/mordbeat for the production.

Greetings once again. 

If you're reading these words, you have my gratitude !

What a crazy life. So many changes.. Everything is transient. 

I'm here again to share a new jammo with you. One that should have seen the light much sooner than it has. But everything has it's time, and that time is now. 
Please wish me luck for increased productivity in the coming months ! I have so much to share with you. 

I am continuing with my preferred theme with this song, I'm sure long time listeners have come to expect such content from me,(I hope at least). 
This song challenges the notion of first impressions and understanding. If you are particular introspective, you should have already taken note of your ability to switch your mind. 
Go back on something that you thought that you never would, no matter how insignificant or impactful. 

Anyone with a good mind should update the contents of that mind when presented new information. We are responsible for checking ourselves. 
The idea that the Sun rises in the east is a relative truth, we know now that the sun never sets. The sun, just as the earth sits within the vastness of space, open from all angles. The song invites one to use relative information and absolute information to find a harmonious balanced perspective within life, and daily thinking. 

Everything is not as it at first seems, there is always another side, be open and invite more. 


Many thanks to @https://soundcloud.com/elowthefunkyeditor for this wonderful instrumental. 
Thank you for your patience. 

I very much that you enjoy this song.

ONE CAN BE AT PEACE, 
IF ONE, CAN LET IT SHED LIGHT, ENTER WITHIN.

Sun Rise: Produced by Elow thefunkyeditor [Lyrics In Description]

Greetings, It is that time once again - for a new jammo to emerge. 

This piece is a collaborative effort, Track 7 or on the vinyl B.1 from @https://soundcloud.com/devaloop's New Album From the Bits to Cosmos. 
Vocals: Malev Da Shinobi 
Production: devaloop
Mastered by B-Side
The EP will featuring production work from Devaloop, and include a number of international emcees on the tracks. As a preview type jam - I hope that this song serves to entice ones interests for what is to come on the EP. 

A throwback joint. Something I might make some what of an annual thing, if the future permits. Even though the reference to which I am throwing back to is over 3 years old now... :soundcloud.com/malevmc/shinobistyle 

I wanted to make a more traditional type song once more, but something that signified to my minds eye that of sneaking throughout the night, throwing all types of shadowy raps at enemy ninjas. 
The lyrics are still spiced with a bit of introspective content, referinng to heritage, and self mastery. 
The other flavors within the words are hints of more boastful skill based lines, loose popculture references, inserted with rythmic structures that I find fun to listen to, and even more fun to throw. 

I wanted to signify, and solidify the Shinobi Style once more, with a new anthem. Using/Updating the hook section from the older jam, and flipping it with the newly learned ryhme techniques. 

The shinobistyle isn't an interesting or fun name, or something that I use for the sake of outward appearance. Though there are many inspirations - 

It comes from a learned & applied/interpreted personal belief system that I have developed through many different readings based on the spirtitual/cultural teachings of the first ninja people during the 15th century; with the inclusion of other practiced spiritual systems, both ancient and contemporary. 

In spirit, that is what this song is about. 

Much love to devaloop for thinking of me for this work. The same gratitude is extended to B-Side for the mastering work, I am completely stoked on the final rendition of the song, well worth the wait.

Greetings once again. 
Today I want to bring you something just a little bit different from the normal boombap flavors I often lick. 
I'll let you decide the particulars of this flavor for yourself. This was a collaborative project in a new spirit, one that is much more patient, but that which does yield a great reward. I've been practicing more and more what one could call 'trust'. And trying to involve others more in different steps of the process as a whole. This song is essentially the first of it's kind from me. Much love to Zudo(a Shogun Beatcat)for the patience and hard work ! The instru was a favorite as soon as i heard it, with his hard work, the vision became reality. I originally wrote the lyrics in December 2014, so glad to see it given life. 

The song itself, as the definition of the word suggests, is about a achieving a particular measure of success given ones current circumstances and resources. 
The world is filled with talent, and many people seem to have found access in ways others have yet to figure out to the secrets of creativity and productivity. I'm not so sure myself there is a secret. But what I do recognize is that there is limitation, and the issue stems from our individual interpretation of what exactly the issue is. 

And example would be I used to wait for 'inspiration' before I wanted to write, or record something. And there were times were the wait was long. In short - 
You have to invite the muse inside, you cannot wait for her to to come knocking. 

We often have all that we need to accomplish that which we want, but the mind can hold us back a great deal, with aspirations, misinterpretations and quite simply a lack of realistic expectations. This songs lyrics embody the self refinement / betterment cycle.

Just a little tribute to one of my favorite duos/ex-trios in rap music

Intoxicated Street Demons

Greetings my friends. I have returned with another track from the depths. 

This song I wanted to try something a little bit different, and stray away from my normal vocal approaches where I find myself trying to fill almost every empty space within the soundscape with my words. 
I often looked at my role in the music as doing just that, but as of late I've begun to reflect deeply on everything that I do. 
I find myself looking at some of the most famous songs within my memory, ones that a great many people find dear. One thing I always notice is just that simplicity can often have the widest reach and gives the biggest spaces for personal interpretation. Some of the best songs have the simplest phrases that still emphasize a message or point. 

That being said each time I find myself writing, it's always intense lyrical songs that are filled to the brim with syllables and interesting words. I can't seem to stray away from it.. 

This song I want to try something a little bit slower and leave some spaces in my phrases, taking a different look at how I decorate the beat with my vocals. The song is mostly for fun with lyrics that are stylistic in nature and in their focus.

Much love to the producer: https://soundcloud.com/dustfingaz he sent me a few tracks and I was instantly attracted to the sounds that he used to create his instrumentals. 
It's spawned a great relationship in many great conversations, there is certainly more on the way from the both of us!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy it.

Peace to all the peoples. 
I'm pleased to be dropping a rather spontaneous track on this afternoon. 

I heard this track while listening to a youtube stream that played lo-fi beats intended for Study. It really stuck out to me and I found myself thinking about the track even after it had passed for a long while. 

But I did like it enough immediately to write the name down for the future. Later, I Found the soundcloud link after some digging and just looped the song and got to writing. 

The producer Gluten Free beats was nice (or foolish) enough to leave the track open to download. 

So that's what I did.. and here we are. I've really been exploring this idea of trying to make perfect creations and how it's an illusion.. 
I want to become better at this. Better at releasing songs and different things for the listeners to interact with.. Ya'll mean so much to me. Everyone that shows love at shows, or online .. clicks play and shares with their friends is a hero in my eyes and I'm very inspired by your activity. 

It's literally the only thing that spurs to me to action... Things are looking up. 
Anyway.. This song was something that I wanted to make purely for fun, and not take any part of it's creation at all too seriously. 

I'm pretty pleased with the end result, and I hope that you are too.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I LIKE, A PART OF ME, 
IN EVERYDAY LIFE, 
NOTJUST FOR SOME LIKES, 

OR TO SHARE WITH MY CELLULAR DEVICE.. 
WHATS IMPORTANT ISN'T WHAT IM SHOWING. 
IT'S TO BECOME INTERTWINED,
WITH EACH AND EVERY MOMENT. 
BUT IT TAKES TIME.

BUT I'M NOT REALLY FEELING THAT HYPE. 

FEELING QUITE OFF, 

SO NOW IT'S ON,

THE GIFT INVESTED 


Much peace,

The Drip: Produced By Martius Ali[Lyrics in Desc] Patreon Live now!

Hello my friends! I am really excited to be writing this update and sharing this track with you today. And I'm really excited about the Patreon project as it grows, allowing me to create and share these tracks with you that would otherwise likely take a lot longer to come to fruition. Please, if you enjoy this song - consider supporting my on Patreon.com/malev - even $5 can make a big difference and allow to continue to bring out these tracks to the globe!

So, about this track. Man, I've been sitting on this one for a long time.. not intentionally.. but it's just the flow of life, the movement. I'm not as attuned to being a full-time musician as I'd like to be somedays, and it's really quite hard to settle into that mind space, with everything that goes on around me. But, when i heard this track for the first time from my man Beatmaschine, I was hooked - I'm completely hooked on his production style and there is seriously not 1 beat that he produces that doesn't sound amazing. I'm straight up honored to be on a production like this. 

The song was pretty natural to write, I ended up using a mixture of older material and written new material to create the landscape for this new track, with a stylistic hook that I think is a fun evolution of some of my singing chants that I've been putting in songs over the years. The end result is a really fun lyrical ride with a lot of interesting melodic elements that I really enjoy. It's a really fun song to sing and perform with it's contrasts of melodically flung lyric sections and practically-yelling-hook sections. Lyrically the song is a showcase style song that is just talking about having cool style and that leans into the name of the track! Delectable. 

We're coming with some fine dining-type tastes my friends! And If you're here, reading these words and listening to this song.. MY GOODNESSS do you have some good taste. I love you for it. 

I really hope that you enjoy this track, please visit and show love to those who helped me create it.
