I'm homeless traveling rapper Malkovich. This is episode 2 of my video journal #1BAG. After getting dumped in Turkish Cyprus (see episode 1 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H7EuzePWDM&index=1&list=PL1EABC6B368E5A512), I flee to my birthplace of Italy (born in Genova!) to record an album in Milano with Italian rapper/producer Esa Funkyprez, who I recorded "Funk For The People" (listen on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/malkovichmusic/funk-4-the-people-f-funkprez) in Milano with last year after meeting him on Twitter. I show you the secrets of my infamous 1 bag (pause), and proudly present my 2014 Everyday Shirt before flying to Bangkok via a six-hour layover at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.nnSubscribe to my Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=mrmalkovichnWatch my music videos at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qpurhTYwMw&list=PL1EABC6B368E5A512nDownload my music free at http://malkovichmusic.bandcamp.comnFollow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/malkovichmusicnLike me on Facebook at http://facebook.com/malkovichmusicnFollow me on Soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/malkovichmusicnLearn more about me at http://malkovichmusic.comnnnMalkovich is a homeless traveling rapper who finds talented producers, moves to their countries to live with them, documents the journey in music and video, and shares it with the world through his multimedia travelogue #1BAG. Malkovich was conceived on the Pacific island of New Caledonia by his father and his mother, then a bartender at a pub popular with escaped Nazis. She was in labor when Ayatollah Khomeini chased them from Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Malkovich was born extremely shortly thereafter in Christopher Columbus' hometown of Genoa, Italy, where he had his diapers changed regularly by Miss Italy 1978. Ronald Reagan almost bombed his elementary school in Libya, killing Colonel Qaddafi’s “daughter” instead. He moved to Los Angeles during the 1992 riots, where he heard Ice Cube's Death Certificate album, rode the Northridge Earthquake, and formed BLX, a kind of pre-internet Odd Future with more grand larceny. He left NYC a week before the Twin Towers came down, London a week before the Tube bombings, and Istanbul a week before Kurds blew up the city square. He left Jamaica two days before Hurricane Gustav, and slept on a church floor in Louisiana and ate Red Cross gumbo for three days with 300 people after losing an important backpack in Hurricane Katrina. He flew over Russia to Malaysia five days before Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over Russia. His father’s a gem hunter who hates islands. He once fell asleep on a train and woke up in Spain. His best friend is a dirty cop in Belize City whose name came up during a Google search on Amnesty International's most wanted list. He lost his favorite hat in Hat Gai, Thailand, dodging rebels who blew up a local McDonalds. URB gave his first album Skeletons one and a half stars out of five. A kid from North Hollywood has lyrics from the same album tattooed on his chest. He impersonated dead North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il for an entire EP (listen). On January 1, 2012 he gave up his home and possessions to travel indefinitely until “something enormous happens”. He relocated to Namibia to record an album with Becoming Phill, a producer he met on Twitter, and subsequently did the same with Esa FunkPrez in Italy and Mute Speaker in the UK. He has worked with House Shoes, Dibia$e, Computer Jay, P.U.D.G.E. and Prince Po of Organized Konfusion. Gilles Peterson kicked off his BBC Best of Hip-Hop 2009 mix with a Malkovich verse. DJ Premier, The Wake Up Show and The Source support his new album Great Expectations of which Hit The Floor Magazine says “genre-resuscitating… Malkovich is owning everyone in the current scene, and you better believe it.” He's working on a book based on Before The Chador, a collection of photos of his family in 1970s pre-revolution Iran which was featured on BBC, PBS and The Atlantic. He's also creator of Heverly Bills T-shirts, "for when your bills are beyond heavy". Less
