Called “the Gil-Scott Heron of this generation” by Cornel West, Malcolm London is an internationally recognized poet, activist, educator and musician hailing from Chicago. He was part of a historic youth delegation to the United Nations in Geneva to address police violence in Chicago. He also runs Chicago’s largest youth open mic alongside friend Chance The Rapper.

In November 2015, London was targeted & arrested by Chicago Police during a protest over the police killing of Laquan McDonald. Due to a international outcry via social media (#FreeMalcolmLondon) & hundreds of peoples' presence at Cook County jail for his court hearing to address false claims, all charges were dropped the very next day.

Malcolm appeared on PBS for the first ever televised TED Talk with John Legend & Bill Gates, and has shared stages with both Matt Damon and Lupe Fiasco as a part of the The People Speak, Live! cast.
