However although he continued to write, keeping his pulse in tune to his surroundings and the society at large, he felt there was a missing element to his own creativity. At age 17, he found the infectious drive of Hip Hop music to be invigorating and found divine inspiration from Rappers such as Nas and the late Tupac Shakur. While immersing himself into the art-form, he recalls: "There were times I would lock myself in my room to practice my skills as a story teller and poet enough for listeners to take a journey through my thoughts".

In 2003 Malik performed at the Telethon for the Artists, which was a live broadcasted. He is also involved in the Circle of Poets and in 2004 was involved in a number of productions including The Poetry Tour in Tobago called The Fifth Encounter, UNAIDS Youth Fest, Best Village: Village Chat and Poetry, Songshine, UWI Speak, Les Mots De Mon Coeur - 'The Words of My Heart' - a Circle of Poets Production, One Mic' and many 'Open Mic' sessions.

In 2005 Malik released his first music video for the track called Street Life, directed by Elspeth Duncan of Happy Hippy Productions, music and production by Navid Lancaster of Sure Sounds Recording. Street Life was different to the typical rap video with ladies in short skirts shaking their behinds, fast cars and 'bling bling'; it goes deeper. Malik addressed many aspects of the day to day struggle that we face as a people such as crime, domestic violence, suicide, and poverty, having the fuel and determination to overcome these hardships with a strong belief in GOD. Being victorious is the true meaning of a Street Life.

In July 2009 he hosted his own event entitled 'My II Cents Making Change'. This was a Rhyme Stone Production held at U.W.I Creative Arts Center in Gordon Street, St. Augustine, aimed at making the public more aware of Cancer.
