Welcome to Mitten Music, where we bring you authentic conversations.

This episode features Grand Rapids native Steven Malcolm, a Christian hip hop artist who shares how he went from grinding at a hip hop church to signing with Curb Records and touring major arenas. He also breaks down the business lessons he learned the hard way, why his story is now driving his songwriting, and how he's expanding into mentorship, creative development, and promotion.

We discuss Steven's early path, what a hip hop church really is, and how an artist can grow from simply making music to building a sustainable career and brand.
