The Real Elements is a Malawian hip-hop band that gained notoriety in the 1990s and 2000s in Malawi.[1] The group consisted of Marvel, Plan B, Stix, and Q. The group holds a special place in the Malawian music industry because it propagated Malawian hip-hop and paved the way for the Malawian hip-hop genre at a time when they were a few hip-hop artists in Malawi.[2] Their music was considered the cutting edge in the Malawi music scene.[3] Critics argue that is the best urban group that has come out of Malawi.[4] They performed in Malawi and their music was also featured on Channel O beaming Malawian hip-hop for the first time to a Pan African audience. In their UK tours they opened for UK hip-hop artists like Blak Twang and Terri Walker. It was just as their international career was taking off that the group separated.[5] Stix decided to leave the music industry (albeit three pending UK contracts) and follow religious pursuits.[5] The group currently is pursuing personal interests.
They inspired Malawian hip-hop artists like Tsar Leo, Shaswish, Erasto, Advokett, and Tay Grin.[6][7] They also inspired Malawian rap groups like the Blind Vision.[8] they dope
