Malaki the Most Hi is the assassin behind Sleeper Cells verbal assault on the entertainment 

industry.  Brutally honest and bluntly opinionated, Malaki disarms critics with openness and 

addresses the emergency of a dying youth and its artform.  With revolutionary lyrics and a fiery 

split-second delivery, Malaki has continued to captivate any crowd until each verses climax.

     Malaki comes from a family of musicians who relocated to Motown in 1976 for the thriving 

rock scene.  Ironically, around the same time his father sold his Les Paul custom guitar to make 

ends meet and give up the life of a musician, Malaki became a young but respected B-boy in the 

city of Pontiac and the surrounding suburbs.  With a determination to submerge himself in hip hop 

culture, Malaki also studied the elements of djing and writing, soon after producing his first 

demo at the age of 13.  With the decline of b-boying and the rise of socio-politics in hip hop, 

Malaki naturally became an MC and focused more on the lyrical aspect of hip hop music and its 

role in social awareness.  Combining his new craft with a desire for groundbreaking production 

and a diverse vinyl collection, Malaki matured into the producer known as Abdullah da Butcha and 

is now laying the soundtrack for The Uprise, Malakis heavily anticipated debut LP.

     Venturing out of Pontiac early in high school to establish contacts in the hip hop community 

and to build a broad understanding of networking, many nights were spent at Detroits Rythm 

Kitchen, Maurice Malones Mecca Cafe and Saint Andrews Hall for the Legendary Battles hosted by 

Veteran MC Proof.  Loitering open mics and usually cifering in the parking lot until 4am, Malaki 

spent a few years on Detroits North End where he had time to collaborate and build with the Las 

Wonz Out, Baatin of Slum Village and a few other MCs who have rose to international prominence.
Returning to his home town of Pontiac, Malaki reunited with old group members One Be Lo and Senim 

Silla, now known to the world as Binary Star.  Malaki was invited to set off what has now been 

called a classic and one of the greatest posse cuts ever made, The KGB.  After rocking shows 

along side Binary Star and later touring as a featured artist on Subterraneous Records release 

WaterWorld Too, Malaki departed to again rejoin Senim Silla after the disbanding of Binary Star . 

 In 2002, Malaki linked up with Senim who had been planning an envestment club with Dj Bet and 

Naaman Noris, a vocalist and producer out of L.A. to begin the ground work for what is now 

Sleeper cell Records.  

     In 2003 sleeper Cell released the Peace or Piece mix CD featuring exclusive music from 

Malaki the Most Hi, Senim Silla and Naaman Norris.  After executive differences leading to a 

company dissolution in Dec. 2005, Malaki took on the sole role of C.E.O. to The Ancient 

Astronauts record label assuring pure artistic control and outlets to underground hip hop heads 

globaly.

     Malaki is currently wrapping up the prelude to his debut LP in classic mixtape format.  On 

the 8th day they Made Mixtapes is a blend featuring two new Malaki 12s consisting of in-house 

production by Abdullah da Butcha and 84 Tigers, as well as contributions from the legendary DJ 

Lenn Swann and Detroits own Paradime/Beats at Will productions.  With 3 Detroit Electronic Music 

Festival appearances and a life revolving around the undrcurrent of Detroit hip hop culture, 

Malaki has maintained a presence of raw explosive energy and poetic rebellion.  Be ready for the 

company launch and first releases from The Ancient Astronauts in early 2007!
