Malique Ibrahim, known simply as Malique, is a Malaysian rapper and songwriter respected for his lyrical prowess and his contributions to the Malaysian hip-hop scene. Starting his career in the late '90s, he first gained recognition as part of the rap duo Too Phat alongside Joe Flizzow. They became one of the most successful acts in the Malaysian music industry, drawing both critical acclaim and commercial success with their innovative blend of English and Malay lyrics.

After Too Phat, Malique embarked on a solo career that continued to shape and influence the local hip-hop landscape. With hits like "Sedih Hati" and "Tunjuk Belang," which served as the theme song for the Kuala Lumpur 2017 SEA Games, he has established himself as a solo force. Known for his thoughtful and often introspective writing, Malique's style is a seamless fusion of traditional Malay music elements with modern beats and narratives that resonate with a wide audience. His work on soundtracks, evidenced by the song "Ayuh" from the "Polis Evo 3" Original Soundtrack, showcases his versatility and continued relevance in the music industry. Despite being a somewhat elusive figure, shying away from the limelight, Malique's artistry continues to inspire a new generation of musicians and listeners.
