Irangeles (Iran/Los Angeles) lyricist Malkovich presents his new album "Great Expectations", written and recorded in New York City, New Orleans, Atlanta and Los Angeles after giving up his home and possessions to travel indefinitely.

Expectations is the followup to his Ayatollah Presley mixtape hosted by deejay/producer House Shoes, and videos to two Expectations tracks - "What I Know"(watch) and "Palms"(watch) have already been released.

Guest emcees include Omni (whose recent album was produced by trip-hop pioneer Tricky), Gotham Green and Sum. Ten producers contribute Expectations' 14 tracks, among them Josh The Goon (Freddie Gibbs, Psycho Realm), Computer Jay (Shafiq Husayn, Jimetta Rose),Yamin Semali, Bei Ru and Becoming Phill, a producer from Namibia, where Malkovich is currently wrapping up their collaboration album.

"Great Expectations is an album about the gap between our dreams and our lives," says Malkovich.
