The Video:
Demonstrating an invigorating chemistry in their energetic strain of bouncy trap, rising duo Mal & Quill have ATL on smash. Reflective on recent losses and their increasing success, Mal & Quill share a visual for the soft-spoken “Ain’t The Same.” Ruminating over an aqueous downtempo production from Richie Souf, the two rappers revel in their riches and their accomplishments, but not without thinking about the struggle they’ve overcome or the people they’ve lost: “Just thinking about my n****, if he was here, know we’d be laughing, yuh/My brother called from prison, say he got his face tatted up/I’m just tryna add it up, my son getting big, he bad as fuck/He quick to throw that Candler up, and he know his daddy up,” rhymes Mal. In the video, Mal & Quill chill with their tight-knit crew, mobbing in an apartment complex, shooting dice, and rolling up dro. “Ain’t The Same” is a standout track from Souf6, the duo’s Richie Souf-produced project, released in June.
Proudly representing East Atlanta’s Zone 6, Mal & Quill are rising up on a wave of grassroots support. The duo gained attention with their irrepressible energy, swapping rapidfire bars on hits like “Been In My Bag,” which has over 1.2 million views on YouTube. With support from Gucci Mane, who signed the duo to his 1017 Eskimo venture, Mal & Quill are on track to become ATL’s biggest rap group since Migos. Most recently, the duo shared the warped and energetic clip for “Laundry.”
