30. To many, the age youth dies. To some, the age you stop caring about looking happy and start caring about *being* happy. This is where MaLLy is at, and he raps with urgency and honesty about growing up, situationships, racism and more while smiling through it all.

The Journey To A Smile is a jazzy, soulful record with a mean jab. Sometimes you're floating with MaLLy through piano-driven prayer ("Praying Since 22"), other times you're marching in triumph to mystical boom-bap ("Black Moses"). One of Minneapolis' finest is back and harder than ever with his first full album in five years.

The Journey To A Smile includes 13-tracks, all produced by PC, with one feature from Aby Wolf; the amazing singer, songwriter and frequent tour-mate of Doomtree's Dessa.
