Malik & the O.G '​s is a spoken-word performance band based in Liverpool. Its founder Malik Al Nasir put the band together in 2006 when he first recorded his poetry to music for his debut album Rhythms of the Diaspora Vol 1 & 2, featuring Gil Scott-Heron and The Last Poets′ Jalal Mansur Nuriddin.

Malik produced the album due for release in 2015 and a video for the song from the album called Africa, which is an adaptation of one of the poems of the same name in Malik's book Ordinary Guy.

Malik & the O.G's was born out of the political poetry movement that was rooted in the civil rights era in America. His ban comprises members of Gil Scott Heron's Amnesia Express and Jazz Warriors Orphy Robinson and Cleveland Watkiss
