Malik Al Nasir (formerly Mark T. Watson) (born 1966, Liverpool, England) is a British author and performance poet, born to a Welsh mother and a Guyanese father. He grew up partly with his family in Liverpool and after the paralysis of his father, he was taken into local authority care. He successfully sued the government for neglect, racism and physical abuse whilst in their care, and received a public apology from Liverpool's Lord Mayor.
Malik is the band leader of Malik & the O.G's.
Malik is the author of the book ''Ordinary Guy'' under his previous name Mark T. Watson. He is the founder and Chief Executive of UK publishing house Fore-Word Press.〔WATSON, M. T. (2004). Ordinary Guy: a collection of poetry & explanatory prose. Fore-Word Press poetry series, v. 1. Liverpool, (Fore-Word Press ).〕 ''Ordinary Guy'' is a collection of poetry and explanatory prose that spans a period of 10 years within the authors late teens and twenties. The book includes "Malik's Mode" – A foreword by Jalal Mansur Nuriddin of the Last Poets. Ordinary Guy was written in tribute to Gil Scott-Heron & The Last Poets and contains 33 poems along with illustrations and explanatory prose.
Malik also featured in a documentary film about his poetry along with Gil Scott Heron, The Last Poets and Benjamin Zephaniah. The film is called ''Word Up - From Ghetto to Mecca'' and featured commentary on Malik's work and performance poetry by Malik. Fore-Word Press exclusively screened the film, (which was produced by UKTV's commissioning editor Shirani Sabaratnam, former BBC and Channel 4 producer) at Phoenix Cinema, Leicester, as part of the 2011 Black History Month events, which Leicester City Council〔()〕 branded a tribute to the late Gil Scott Heron.
Malik also wrote and produced two albums of his poetry and songs, ''Rhythms of the Diaspora'' Vol. 1 & 2, featuring Gil Scott-Heron, The Last Poets, LL Cool J, Stanley Clarke, Swiss Chris, Rod Youngs, Larry McDonald, and Ms Marie Labropolus. The albums were recorded at Sarm Studios in Readding, Mercredi 9 Studios in Paris and Wyclef Jean's Platinum Sound Recording Studios in New York. Mixed by Serge Tsai and mastered by Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound New York.
Malik is currently researching the life of Andrew Watson (born 1857, died unknown) who was the first black footballer in history – and one of the architects of the game of soccer as it is known today – for inclusion in a book about the life of Watson, who came from Guyana in 1860 and ended up captaining Scotland in the 1880s.

In 2006, Malik co-founded Dubai-based production company MediaCPR and its record label MCPR Music. Conceptually MediaCPR wanted to develop clean content in mainstream music that could entertain listeners without being offensive or explicit. In this context, Malik along with a team of music producers pioneered a new genre of music which they called "Drum Fusion". The idea was to unite traditional rhythms with contemporary song arrangements and apply positive lyrical content to produce a new style of music which could be applied to any genre. The drum fusion formula involves developing a full organic sound composition derived exclusively from the use of drum, percussion, the human voice and natural sounds such as wind, rain, running water etc. The first album to hit the streets using the drum fusion formulae is that of Jamaican master percussionist Larry McDonald. The album is entitled ''Drumquestra''. The concept was developed collaboratively between Malik Al Nasir, who is the executive producer, Larry McDonald himself who wanted to showcase his 50-year recording career as a percussionist working with everyone from Bob Marley to Taj Mahal and also by producer Sidney Mills from Steel Pulse. Lenny B did a dub-dance remix of one of the tracks off the album called ''Set the Children Free''. The original album version was recorded with Toots & the Maytals The dance remix by Lenny B demonstrates the versatility of Larry's music and how the "Drum Fusion" formula (which Lenny B also worked to), can cross genre's and be totally relevant to the young, as well as the old traditionalists.
Malik Al Nasir was also co-writer on two tracks on the album ''Drumquestra''. "Peace of Mind" (Which Malik also co-produced with Sidney Mills featuring Shaza) and "Crime Or Music"〔 Featuring veteran ska musician Stranger Cole and reggae drummer Sly Dunbar. Additional percussion on this track was provided by Sticky Thompson of The Wailers and Bongo Herman.

Ancestory is probably the first interactive multimedia family tree builder, with social network integration.
