THE RECAP
Truth music was represented in Memphis.
On Sunday, August 30, 2026, Mal’akhi Ben Israel was named Best Male New Artist at the SCM Awards, presented by Jay Shields Promotions at Minglewood Hall in Memphis, Tennessee.
The recognition marks a major moment for Mal’akhi and 12 Tribes of Israel Kingdom Music—honoring the work, sacrifice and purpose behind music created to awaken, encourage and lead listeners toward truth.
