Featuring for KING + COUNTRY and KB

Curb Records recording artist Steven Malcolm declares that in times of pain and distance from faith, God always says “YES,” today, 7/11. Featuring Curb Records band for KING + COUNTRY and KB, “YES” combines the energy of a hip hop track with the praise of a worship anthem. Listen HERE.

“God took a fatherless kid who, because of where I came from and what I had been through, always felt a sense of unworthiness,” shares Malcolm. “You’re telling me I’m worthy to be saved?! YES! God responded with ‘yes.’”

Featuring the worshipful harmonies of for KING + COUNTRY and the hip hop energy of KB, “YES” is not just a word — it’s God’s unwavering answer to our brokenness. Born out of the deep places of pain, shame, and guilt — the moments when we feel most unworthy and distant from God — the dynamic track tells the story of divine grace that never wavers, even when we do. No matter past or present struggles, His arms remain open, affirming that we are seen, known, and fully accepted. Speaking to the heart of every believer who has questioned their value, “YES” is a reminder that God’s response is always love, always mercy, always ‘yes.’

Malcolm encourages fans to share their uplifting “YES” stories on socials, continuing to show how God shows up in difficult times. Fans can also catch “YES” at Christian radio soon.

About Steven Malcolm:

Steven Malcolm makes faith-driven hip-hop that’s as unique as his multi-cultural background.

It’s a sound rooted in rap’s rhythmic delivery, pop’s modern melodies, and God’s word, glued

together by an artist whose music has earned seven Dove Award nominations and more than

130 million streams. With his new single, YES, Malcolm teams up with Grammy Award Winning artist for KING & COUNTRY. Malcolm says of the song: YES is a powerful anthem born out of the deep places of pain, shame, and guilt—the moments when we feel most unworthy and distant from God. YES tells the story of divine grace that never waivers, even when we do. It speaks to the heart of every believer who has questioned their value, reminding them that God’s response is always love, always mercy, always YES. His last album, BOATS, dropped anchor February 23, 2024. An acronym for “Based On A Truth Story,” BOATS transports listeners to a utopia of Malcolm’s own creation. On an introspective island where the truth of God’s Word meets our humanity, the concept record explores tales of brokenness and subsequent redemption that have shaped the hip-hop leader’s own story. The imaginative 16-track collection washes ashore with spiritual workout Top 10-and-climbing single “Cardio,” pulsating, wilderness playbook “40” and autobiographical selection “Nothing Into Something.” Malcolm’s messages of hope and redemption come from his own experience. Raised in western Michigan and coastal Florida, he grew up in search of stability. His father, a native Jamaican who had emigrated from Montego Bay, was deported back to the Caribbean when Steven was just 9 years old and later passed away before the two could reunite. Steven’s mother struggled as a single parent and eventually left town, leaving her son to fend for himself as a young college student. His life lacked a clear direction until he accepted a friend’s invitation to attend a local church service that incorporated hip-hop, dance, and worship.
