So back in March, I was flown out to Miami to work in the studio with Sean Kingston! He actually found me from my YouTube videos and it was an amazing experience. Check out the video of my trip!

Pepsi Beat Making Video!
I've been wanting to make a beat with sounds from a Pepsi bottle for a long time, and after thinking about it for more than 6 months, I finally decided to do it. This video is for promotional purposes only and I am in no way affiliated with Pepsi. I hope you can spread the word about the video! Enjoy.
New Website! HitsByMalek.com
So I have officially launched the new website! The website is more for rappers, singers and artists in general to go and find hot commercial beats to purchase and use on their projects.
I also have released my first drum kit for producers to purchase, which you can check out here: http://www.hitsbymalek.com/drumkits.cfm

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 16 (July 10, 2011)
When I was making this track, I had Drake in mind. It is a smooth laid back r&b/hip-hop crossover type track. Enjoy!

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 15 (July 3, 2011)
This is my first sample-based hip-hop beat that I've done for my Beat Making Sundays series. I decided to do it because I've been reading the comments on previous videos and it seems like you guys wanted to see a sampled track. The sample is Bob Marley's Sun Is Shining.
PRODUCERS: If you are a producer, sample the same track and post your beat as a video response to this video so we can all share our flips of the song.

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 14 (June 26, 2011)
This is a soulful deep hip-hop track with real instrument sounds. I can hear someone like Rick Ross on this one, but I think a singer could kill it too!
