“Malcolm X.X.X.” is a tribute to XXXTENTACION, a friend and fellow rapper of Kodak Black who died in June 2018. They were both incarcerated in Broward County Jail in March 2017 and collaborated later that year on Kodak’s “Roll in Peace.”

This song samples Malcolm X, who was an avid African-American civil and human rights advocate during the 1960s. Kodak compares XXXTENTACION to Malcolm X, amalgamating their names. Both figures were killed by gun violence.
