Another rapper born today...my boy, my fam, like another brother: MELO KAN (pronounced CANE)!!! I've been down with this dude and his music since '98 and I was right there when he officially dropped a CD in 2001 (I did the artwork for every mixtape and album since) and I've seen the growth. Maybe not the most followed artist on the trendy underground scene...but on that gutter scene...he runs it. Many media outlets have dubbed him the Underground Bully. Melo makes what I'd call "layered" music. On the surface it may look/sound like the typical street rap but there is lyrical prowess and substance that can go unnoticed. Case in point would be the song below...Blood Money starts as if it would be the typical thug rap about gettin' money by any means but then Melo flips it into how our whole society was founded on it (colleges, churches, etc). Melo has a way of relating to the slums but goes beyond it by illustrating the feelings, motivations, and ills of society as well as how it affects others. So when you listen to dude pay close attention, you may miss some things...Blood Money and the video for Still Wanna Leave are both featured on Melo's current LP - E.P.U. (E. Plurbius Unim). Peep some more stuff at his site or on his page. Give him a good b'day gift and check out his music, cop some product and so forth.
