Cincinnati’s Mallio Releases LP, ‘TMFG’

Ohio native Mallio delivers a sound akin to Rod Wave and YFN Lucci but with a more Midwest twist in his latest offering, ‘TMFG.’ Not only does it serve as a origin story to to life but also a resume for what he may potential become going forward. The burgeoning rap star is soulful and prideful but doesn’t let listeners just box him into just that.

The biggest strength of his LP his the diversity of tracks and the ability of Mallio switch up his vocal cadences to procure a high multitude of quality sounds. His voice is a polished instrument and it’s very rare to meet a newer rapper with skill such as he has. Overall ‘TMFG’ is a good project and we look forward to more from Mallio as soon as possible.

‘TMFG’ is on all platforms and marks only the start for the Ohio native as he ventures onto the next phase of his artistry. The more mature, crisp sounding, and embellished side of Mallio, a force to be reckon with.

Video Alert: Music Executive Chaka Zulu Facing Murder Charges After Defending Himself from Beatdown: Lawyers Speak Out
Press conference held at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta

Longtime manager of rap star Ludacris, Chaka Zulu along with his legal team headed by former Fulton County prosecutor Gabe Banks, civil rights attorney Mawuli Davis and criminal defense attorney Akil Secret held a press conference to discuss the murder charges filed against Zulu by Atlanta Police Department and why they believe the charges are without merit.

TMZ obtained exclusive footage of the shooting below:

https://share.tmz.com/watch/2022-09-21-092122-chaka-zulu-v2-1488966-021/

The attorneys for music executive Chaka Zulu want police to drop the murder charges against him and they believe the newly released video footage will paint a different picture. Zulu, who’s real name is Ahmed Obafemi, is the longtime manager of Atlanta rapper Ludacris. He was arrested after a fight outside the APT 4B restaurant in June.

Atlanta police said Zulu shot and killed 23-year-old Artez Benton outside the restaurant, where Zulu hosts a special night there on Sundays which is by invite only and you need a password to get into the club. Zulu was also shot in the back that night but has since recovered from his injuries. The begging question for many is why weren’t others charged that night even though the video shows others were involved in the assault as well.

District attorney Fani Willis has not decided to charge Chaka Zulu but we will will be following this story as things develop.
