If there's one artist in the Twin Cities who has steadily increased their recognition and popularity, it's probably MaLLy. Malik Watkins is only in his mid-20s, but his reputation has been bolstered by encouragement from the Rhymesayers crew and old friends from the high-school days that now collaborate with him side-by-side.

His new record The Last Great... is finally on the horizon, a mix of street smart raps and gorgeous production, rooted in positivity among a world backdrop that suggests otherwise. In this Local Show debut, Watkins brings in K.Raydio and Last Word to collaborate.

Songs performed: "Shine," "Cloud Culture" and "Good One"
