Dublin rapper Malaki has shared his new EP ‘DFTTYM’ (Don’t Forget To Take Your Medicine) featuring new single ‘London Fields’.

An incredibly raw project that confronts Malaki’s personal struggles with mental health, ‘DFTTYM’ is a brutally honest account of his darkest times. It centres around the character ‘Calvero’ who Malaki introduces as his manic alter-ego, inspired by the 1952 Charlie Chaplin film ‘Limelight’. This powerful medium sees Calvero personify the negative thoughts Malaki battled with while experiencing depression and anxiety, and has helped form a hard-hitting EP that expertly showcases Malaki’s compelling approach to hip-hop.

Malaki explains - “I wrote this project when I was in a very dark time in my life. I feel in our darkest moments we project a false image or a person who we wish to be perceived as. Instead, I embraced this villain, I became him and personified him within this EP. His name is “Calvero” and each track gives you an insight into his character. I hope you enjoy.”
