Pontiac, Michigan is home to a powerful new wave in the hip-hop scene—Markell2Timez and BigJ. The dynamic teenage duo, composed of 16-year-old Malachi Khalil (aka Markell2Timez) and 17-year-old Jaelyn (aka BigJ), are making major noise with their collaborative energy and breakout single “Hollon,” which dropped on April 28th, 2025. With their chemistry undeniable and the internet buzzing, this young pair is rapidly becoming the next big thing to watch.

The two artists complement each other naturally, combining charisma with grit, making “Hollon” a standout anthem for their generation.
The fanbase is locked in—and not just for the music.
