Jamal STEELE

Atlanta, GA/Pensacola, FL

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, this 850 transplant knew from the moment he saw Run-DMC's "Walk This Way" video that music would be his way of expression. Citing B.I.G., Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, André 3000, Nas, & Scarface as major influences, STEELE knew in 2002, when he gave his life over to Christ, that his verses had a deeper purpose. Now with a mission to "Impart, Influence, & Inspire", Jamal STEELE's lyrical crusade has made stops on Mick Boogie's collaborative mixtape with The Game in 2005 entitled "The Dope GAME", Jamal's first solo mixtape in 2006 entitled "Prelude 2 A CLASSIC, Vol. I" &, in 2009, his first solo release, a 5 track EP known as "The GENESIS".

Jamal has also made strides outside the musical realm as the host and co-event coordinator for Bay County's premier spoken word/performance event, "SPEAK ON IT!". Now headed into it's 6th year, the event, originally conceived and founded by Keisha Siriboe, allows artists to present their gift while discussing various topics that affect our community and generation today. The event has grown and started branching out into other cities as well, establishing a chapter in Pensacola, FL.

 In 2014, Jamal STEELE dropped his debut album entitled "Driving TOWARD Our PURPOSE". Described as a semi-autobiographical piece of art, the album details how one realizes their purpose and the journey they feel they are taking to get to that purpose God has already placed within them. With an amazing soundtrack produced by GlassC!ty, El-R, Ant Carter, DJ Quezs, Ta-Ku and Jamal STEELE himself, the moment arrived for the game to finally Get ACQUAINTED With GREATNESS. Now, on May 4th, he releases his collaboration EP with producer 2Live1Mind7, "The Greatest WEAPON", featuring the single "Sound The ALARM".​
