    Melbourne-based rapper Babyface Mal is the latest member of 66 Records, and he's set to turn some heads with his take on drill music. The Australian-born, Turkish/Egyptian rapper/songwriter says that his music is inspired by the things he's seen and heard throughout his life, and he's been writing and making music for as long as he can remember.

    He's just released his new track alongside Australian rap star Nerve, SuperHero, and if you're a fan of drill, you'll want to give this a listen. Read on to find out more about Babyface Mal and why he's swooping in to save the Australian rap scene.

    Babyface Mal started making music as a kid, recording his first track alongside a childhood friend. It lit a spark inside him that's burning to this day. His track with Lil Sknow, Sknoway, got people's attention, with Babyface more than holding his own alongside one of Australia's hardest MCs.

    Sknoway featured on his mixtape, Time Out, which was a warning shot to the rest of Australian hip-hop. Asked about his approach to music, Babyface says, “I’m an observer, I’m into different types of music, cultures and lifestyles.” Having been raised in Melbourne's South, the area's had a big influence on his music and lyricism. Fail to look past his self-proclaimed "baby face" at your peril, because Babyface's not posing in his lyrics. Listen to what he's got to say, because otherwise, it won't end well for you.

    What does he sound like?

    Babyface Mal says he's influenced by the likes of Skepta and 50 Cent, and there's a timelessness to his music. His new track, SuperHero, builds on his previous tracks and turns the energy up to 11. If you're a fan of the Australian drill music that's being made at the moment, you'll want to give this a listen. 

    Speaking about the track, he says, “Sometimes you can’t tell who’s who (good/bad). Good people might do bad things and bad people might do good things, does that define them? At the end of the day, people who do different things end up at the same club doing the same thing as one other on the weekends.

    "On top of that, it incorporates the idea that everyone is really just a child in a bigger body than they once had. It can be comforting thinking of the bad things you might do in a comical way (e.g. violent criminal=super villain). We are the real-life superheroes and supervillains.”
