The evolution of Malcolm London was the subject of our cover story about a year ago today and with 2016 in the rearview, that development seems to be continuing. This week the activist/poet/rapper/organizer debuted his latest single, "Wonderful" which simultaneously serves as the introduction to production collective BAD CXMPANY.

Whereas last year we detailed the move from demonstrating to demos, this time around we find London diving into a larger creative framework. Along with close friends EB, Timmy V and Marcus Anthony Johnson, London has helped establish a collaborative team that first showed themselves to the world at London's November 11 OPIA release show at Chop Shop. One of the main topics of our recent Yung Creatives talk show which featured EB last month, the collective has been working behind the scenes on a bevy of new work, which found the light of day on this FakeShoreDrive premiere.  The first offering is an eclectic one that features a range of sounds, re-framing the frontman in a sort of neo-soul meets trap feel that is familiar yet interesting in design. It definitely raises eyebrows in terms of what's on the horizon for the crew. For now, get into something "Wonderful".
