Jallal

Jallaluddin Mohammad Malik (born 1993), better known by his stage name Jallal, is an American rapper from Los Angeles, California.

Career

Music

After spending time under the mentorship of Lupe Fiasco, Jallal released his debut mixtape, Semi-Casual Love, in 2011. Since then, he has released a second mixtape, Unwilling Fortay, along with numerous tracks. The mixtape caught the attention of Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def), who has since served as a mentor to Jallal. Jallal has opened for Bey on several stops on his US tours starting in 2013.

Jallal appeared on the remix to Olivia Olson's 2013 song "Suspicious". In 2014, he released his first single, "Rocky", featuring Rick Ross and produced by DJ MOZA, and "Suicide", featuring BJ the Chicago Kid. In 2015, he released the single "Gone Girl", featuring RDGLDGRN.

In February 2017, Jallal released the single "Imma Dog". It was produced by CashMoneyAP. He followed that up with "2:00 AM", produced by Goddy Beats, which Vibe magazine called "a flossy number that serves as the soundtrack for all of our late night rendezvous." In May of that year, he released the single "Toss & Turn" featuring Ne-Yo, produced by Hugo, James, and Jan Fairchild. The following month, he released the single "Never Forgotten", featuring BJ The Chicago Kid, Kaye Fox, and Georgia Anne Muldrow. All four tracks were included on his mixtape, Off the Radar (released June 14, 2017). It also features production from Chad Hugo of The Neptunes and Elliot James of Hey Monday, as well as a guest appearance from BJ the Chicago Kid, 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, and Yo Gotti. 

Jallal's upcoming album Untold Truth includes production by DJ Moza and Killa J, and the singles "The Truth" and "The Heat". In April 2019, he released the single "You Gon' See", produced by Arteen Mozafari. In August 2019, he released the music video for "We Made the Same," featuring the actress Tala Ashe.

Fashion

In 2015, Jallal founded the clothing brand Seviin. In 2017, he was signed as a spokesman for the American luxury menswear accessories brand William.
