Malik's album Self Improvement is a flawless combination of forward thinking messages and street credability. With production by Sound Click, Vybe Beats, Sean Devine, Bossclickent, Mr. Coolman, and Royal Beats '07, the quality of the mastering is up to par with the raw lyrical talent of the artist. Through all sixteen tracks the album maintains strength and consistency that represents the true essence of northwest hip hop. Malik excells both in lyrics and with his choice of beats and is able to successfully capture the vibe in the production and offer words that are both personal and universal. He speaks about things that resonate with individuals from any walk of life. The album ranges in styles and subject matter to create a refreshing diversity for the overall sound. Through the course of the sixteen tracks, the listener receives insight to the aspirations of the artist as well as his past experiences. It offers something for all listeners, from tracks about goals, love and romance, the future, the streets, the come up, and everything else that goes along with living immersed in hip hop culture and the hood. The flow from track to track is smooth and well thought out. Though it is the nature of the album to incorporate various styles of beats as well as lyrics, none of the changes are abrupt so it continues to develope cleanly rather than having abrupt changes. I would recommend this album to those who are looking to explore northwest hip hop further, or those who have an appreciation for true hip hop. There is no weak point in this album, and with diversity matched only be the creative skill, it is bound to have something for listeners of all appeals and fans of every style of hip hop.
