Malice

Brooklyn-born artist, writer, entrepreneur, and visionary, Malice DaHustlah is the founder of Villain Media Group and the creative force behind Villain Archives — an independent multimedia company built to merge hip-hop, comics, storytelling, and culture into one connected universe.

With over two decades immersed in music, audio production, branding, and visual storytelling, Malice has developed a gritty cinematic style rooted in the realities of New York City street culture while pushing independent creativity into new territory. His work blends dark narratives, layered characters, and authentic hip-hop energy with the world-building depth traditionally found in comics and graphic novels.

As a creator, Malice is the mind behind projects such as Faded Echoes, Malice: KAYOS THEORY, Corrupt Kings TCG, and The Chronicles of Malo & Kremp — each carrying its own unique voice while remaining connected through the larger Villain Media Group vision. His approach to storytelling often combines music and comics together, creating immersive experiences where soundtracks and narratives evolve side-by-side.

Outside of publishing and music, Malice also hosts Behind The Panels, a podcast dedicated to independent creators, comic culture, entrepreneurship, and the creative grind behind building something from nothing.

Driven by authenticity, ownership, and creative independence, Malice continues building Villain Media Group as more than just a brand — but as a platform for artists, storytellers, and innovators looking to control the narrative.
