Malik Baptiste Debuts 'All You Need to Know' Featuring Snoh Aalegra

GRAMMY award-winning producer and artist Malik Baptiste kicks off a new chapter and releases his new single "All You Need To Know," featuring GRAMMY nominated, Iranian Swedish-born singer Snoh Aalegra.

Baptiste is carving out a place for himself among hip hop's next generation, and the symphonic "All You Need To Know" is a beautiful homage to his humble beginnings - the single's spoken intro echoes, "Home is where the heart is...Austin, Texas will always love you."

The track tightly packages Baptiste's upbringing in Texas and the singular experiences that shaped him into the genre-defying talent he is today. Aalegra amplifies the thumping beat with her soulful groove, paying respect to his city as she sings, "I'll be loving you always, that's all you need to know."

Of the single, Malik shared, "When I left home, I did so quietly and without many updates on why or what I've been up to. Relaying this message of love through Snoh, I've set out to reconnect with my loved ones and propel myself forward into goals I've set for myself."

"All You Need To Know" follows the multi-hyphenate's 2020 collection of demos Spectrum, which first debuted his talents as a soloist following extensive credits as a producer. In 2019, Baptiste was honored with a GRAMMY award for his work on Ariana Grande's Sweetener, with production credits on "Better Off."

He also lent a hand to several Dreamville artists, including J.I.D. and Earthgang. As he continues to create varying sonic playgrounds under the guidance of the legendary producer No I.D., Baptiste has plenty more to offer in 2023.

Producer and artist Malik Baptiste is one to watch. The Grammy-award winning Austin, Texas native sports an impressive resumé, which includes features alongside Dreamville artists Earthgang and J.I.D. and a Grammy win for his work on Ariana Grande's Sweetener.

Deciding against playing college basketball in favor of creative pursuits, the homeschooled, self-taught talent, Baptiste was free to devote his energy to his true passion of music. Before constructing his signature punchy drum patterns and whimsical loops, he was tearing apart RC cars and Gameboys as a kid experiencing life in a suburban community.

Citing Queen, The Beach Boys, Bon Iver, Julie Andrews, OutKast, Elton John, and Steely Dan as some of the biggest influences, he creates what he dubs as futuristic Southern rap music that layers a bombastic energy with a boundless, genre-bending sound.

Often writing, recording, mixing and even mastering his own work, Baptiste hones in on his craft through the support and official cosign from the highly decorated producer No I.D. 2023 marks a new chapter for the 26-year-old multi-hyphenate as he prepares to unveil his new mixtape.
