Batter Than Nothing

An army brat who moved around a lot growing up, Malcolm Jamaal Davis took the name MadeinTYO when it was time to start rapping publicly, looking to his time spent living in Tokyo, Japan as inspiration for the twist on 'Made in Tokyo.' Taking notes from his brother 24hrs, who was also a producer who rapped, Davis started the Private Club collective in the mid-2010s and had a breakthrough with his 'Uber Everywhere' single in 2016.

MadeinTYO was first inspired to rap and make his beats by seeing his cousin work on music in his room, as well as learning the tricks of his older brother, rapper Rolls Royce Rizzy, later known as 24hrs. In 2015, he founded the Private Club hip-hop collective/label and released the single 'I Want' the first material under the MadeinTYO moniker. 'Uber Everywhere' peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100. His next single, 'Skateboard P,' featured Big Sean and was a platinum hit as well. MadeinTYO's first studio album, Sincerely, Tokyo, arrived in October 2018. It featured cameos from A$AP Ferg, Blood Orange, and others. The next year, Ferg repaid Davis with 'WAM' from Floor Seats.
