Malkovich’s debut album, Skeletons, is a refreshing trip into the mind of Crag Malkovich, an LA based artist and part of the Gershwin BLX Crew. In the title track he lays out what that trip is about ("It’s love and It’s hate and It’s bumps and It’s scrapes and It’s running a race with one foot in the grave.") His flow falls heavily around simple beats like a quilt, sometimes it’s too heavy but most of the time just right. The jazz and soul samples add a little beauty to the roughness of Malkovich’s voice.  Malkovich Music is honest but successfully avoids cliche, even while rhyming about a girl who makes him smile.  Check his album out at malkovichmusic.com.
