Muggsy Malone Artist of the week





Martin Jackson aka Muggsy Malone has journeyed the footsteps of many men. From wearing the adolescent shoes of a motherless child to later wear the boots of an U.S Army solider, to now where he is walking in the shoes of the next hip hop icon. When one asks who is the man that speaks the words “If I can’t do it, it can’t be done” people learn the story of a rookie turned champion. Addicted to music at the tender age of 9, Muggsy used music as a drug.



Malone began to perfect his craft, adapting to what he call’s the Michael Jordan practice theory. Jordan, like a lot of young kids was one of his role models. He read in his book Hang Time of how he practiced and shot free throws every single day of his career and applied the same thing to music. So, the aspiring artist committed himself to 16 bars a day. Today, he houses over 40 practice journals of “Hot 16’s since the late 80’s. Muggsy pure addiction for music is a concrete foundation for the acronyms of his name. What those close to him say is a verbal representation of his life struggle “Motivation You Gain Grinding Surviving Yesterday”. Coming into his own man at the age of 17, Malone made the decision to join the U.S Army, where he was stationed in Korea and at Fort. Hood. Notably serving his country during 9/11 he was discharged in 2002 to return home.
