Ka’Ba SoulSinger - Performing as Gil.


Hailing from the American South, Ka'Ba's rich, bass/baritone voice, emits a frequency - whose vibration is drenched in the struggles, trials and triumphs of the Black experience.  From enslavement and Jim Crow, to the Civil Rights era and the hip-hop generation and beyond. 

His fusion of soul, jazz, traditional Black spirituals, blues, hip-hop, spoken word and world music, creates an aural panoply of the worldwide African experience. He has shared the stage and /or recorded with musical giants and cult underground icons such as; Amiri Baraka, Professor Griff (Public Enemy), Black Notes, Kim Jordan, (jazz keyboardist and long time band leader for Gil Scott-Heron), Precise Science, Dead Prez, The Last Poets, jazz keyboardist Weldon Irvine and more. 

His passionate, soul-drenched, humorous and energetic performances have thrilled audiences across the United States and the United Kingdom, winning praise and accolades along the way. 

He also hosts a weekly radio show, the “Afrikan Deep Thought” edition of “Jazz & Justice,” which can be heard from 3-5PM (EST) every Monday on 89.3 WPFW-FM in Washington, DC, where he fuses his two loves - the various musical genres that inspire him and social commentary and topics around culture, history and philosophy.

Ka’ba toured the UK with Kim Jordan & Malik & The O.G’s in 2017/18, for The Revolution Will Be Live! Gil Scott-Heron tribute tour and is returning to London on 4th November to to do it all again at the iconic Jazz Café.

Malik & The O.G’s Reviews…


“Through his writing, music and live performances, Malik Al Nasir is continuing the legacy of his late mentor 
Gil Scott-Heron”  
Raoul Juneja – NOW Magazine. 

“Malik delivers a beautifully lyrical performance, another verse in the extraordinary life of an ordinary guy!” 
Glyn Akroyd – Bido Lito Magazine (Front cover article).  

“In 1984, a chance encounter between Scott-Heron and Al Nasir, then a self-described “illiterate street kid” in Liverpool, led to him taking the 18-year-old under his wing. Today, Al Nasir boasts a master’s degree.” 
Paul Lester, The Guardian (Front cover article).  

“St George’s Hall, Liverpool provided an opportunity for Malik to put on a fabulous tribute concert in honour of the great wordsmith, who guided him throughout his formative and adult years.” 
Michael Edwards – UK Vibe Magazine.

"Mentored by both Jalal and the late great Gil Scott-Heron, Malik brought his own poetic life experience to the event and his no nonsense delivery came wrapped in the warm, versatile vocals of Cleveland Watkiss and Chantelle Nandi." Paul Bradshaw - Beyond Chaser.
