In a recent interview with Word Is, Maluda said that before winning the Groove award he felt rejected after almost a decade of not making it in the music industry.
“I have been in the industry since 2006, and 2016 is when I won an award. It took me 10 years of rejection, sweat and blood. I felt like most of the guys we did music with, their thrust came early. I reached out to them for support but they couldn’t,” said Maluda.

Maluda also credited his music success to rappers secular rappers Khaligraph Jones and Kevo Kforce, gospel rapper Juliani and singer/songwriter Anto Neosoul.
“Khaligraph gave me a verse when he was at the top. It took me one phone call and that’s why I will always respect him. He showed me the business aspect of music. Juliani, Anto Neosoul and Kayvo Kforce also helped me,” said Maluda.
