AL MAL aka AdotWAKE is an internationally touring hip hop artist based out of the city of Philadelphia PA. Born on Long Island New York, he was raised all over NY and the 5 boroughs but he's called Philly his home for almost a decade now.  He has a unique sound rooted strongly in classic hardcore, conscious hip hop and he uses no profanity in his music just as some of the greats before him like the legendary Rakim.  His sound is said to be similar to Vinnie Paz, NAS, WU-TANG, AOTP, or Immortal Technique but he's still known for his own raw, artistic east coast style.
