Fad, LL Cool J and Too Short. &ldquo;Hammer was the first West Coast artist to do it big and he was in my backyard, so I knew success as a rapper was achievable and I could do music and make it without selling dope.</p><p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></em></p><p dir="ltr">" Armed with solid production, poignant punch lines and lethal lyrics, Big Malo flows effortlessly.
