Nothing Into Something is the transformation record everybody in the world needs to hear. It’s the positive message the world is in need of right now. This record is real-life stories I’ve been a part of. Some I’ve even been a part of to see first hand God move in their life. This record was inspired by my cousin Joshua. He had been battling alcohol addiction for years, keeping him away from excelling in life, and even his relationship with his three kids. I saw him turn his life around, and now he is two years sober and counting. This record is for anybody who is fighting something that they need to overcome and need to hear a word of inspiration.
BOATS is all about a man named TRUTH, some would call him Mr. Away. Stranded on an oasis built for the chosen and run by the redeemed, TRUTH has found himself isolated as a result of his biggest sacrifice, time. The sacrifice of time has finally caught up with him after living a life of chasing his dream. Now the redeemed hero is forced to sit in what his ambition created…. Welcome to Away.

About Steven Malcolm:
Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that’s as unique as his multi-cultural background. It’s a sound rooted in rap’s rhythmic delivery, pop’s modern melodies, and God’s word, glued together by an artist whose music has earned six Dove Award nominations and more than 115 million streams.
His new album, BOATS, dropped anchor February 23, 2024. An acronym for “Based On A Truth Story,” BOATS transports listeners to a utopia of Malcolm’s own creation. On an introspective island where the truth of God’s Word meets our humanity, the concept record explores tales of brokenness and subsequent redemption that have shaped the hip-hop leader’s own story. The imaginative 16-track collection washes ashore with spiritual workout Top 10-and-climbing single “Cardio,” pulsating, wilderness playbook “40” and autobiographical selection “Nothing Into Something.”
Malcolm’s messages of hope and redemption come from his own experience. Raised in western Michigan and coastal Florida, he grew up in search of stability. His father, a native Jamaican who had emigrated from Montego Bay, was deported back to the Caribbean when Steven was just nine years old, and later passed away before the two could reunite. Steven’s mother struggled as a single parent and eventually left town, leaving her son to fend for himself as a young college student. His life lacked a clear direction until he accepted a friend’s invitation to attend a local church service that incorporated hip-hop, dance, and worship.
