Jamal Phillips

Jamal Phillips, Jamal, or Mally G (b.April 26 1979 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a rapper and music producer. He was one-half of Illegal, the rap act formed by Dallas Austin in the early 1990s.

Illegal and going solo

Phillips' tenure with Illegal was short-lived; following the lukewarm response to 1993's The Untold Truth — the group's full-length debut — Phillps embarked on a solo career. He teamed up with Erick Sermon of the Def Squad to release 1995's "Last Chance, No Breaks", his debut release.

The album (produced by Easy Mo Bee, Redman, Rockwilder and Sermon) peaked at #10 and #37 on Billboard magazine's "Heatseekers" and "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" charts respectively. The album also spawned a pair of hit singles — "Fades Em All", which sampled The Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Ready To Die' and "Keep It Real", which sampled Stevie Wonder's 'Ribbon In The Sky'.

Smoke-A-Lot Records

In 2006, Jamal signed a deal with rapper Yukmouth to be apart of his Smoke-A-Lot Records label. [ [http://www.smokealotrecords.com/artist_jamal.html >>The Official Smoke-A-Lot Records Site ] ] An as yet to be titled album is due out in the near future.

He is also a member of The Regime, a large collective of rappers including Yukmouth, Tech N9ne, BG Bulletwound, Tha Realest, Gonzoe, Dru Down and Grant Rice among others.

Other collaborations

In 1995 he performed on "Conspiracy", the LP from Junior M.A.F.I.A. He has since gone on to collaborate with other renowned rappers; in 1996, he was featured on "The Coming" the LP from Busta Rhymes and Keith Murray's "Enigma". The following year, he teamed up again with Busta Rhymes, performing on that rapper's 1997 LP, "When Disaster Strikes". In 1998, he collaborated with the Def Squad on "El Niño", their debut release.
