Perth Artist Melo Making Music with Metaphorical Messages

Melo is a young Hip Hop artist from Perth's south of the 63, building the wave for woke rap, filling his music with smoothing metaphorical messages of unity and peace, whilst also providing a woke insight to his perspective of life and the way he interpret and see the world around me.

Heavily influenced by 90's Hip Hop, Melo, started Rapping at the age of 11 and was writing complete songs by age 14. Compelled with original style crossed with a new take on modern reality rap, member of rap collective Racka Chachi, Melo provides a much-needed wake up call for the community by documenting what he has seen around him and what he believes he will see.

He ended 2018 with a hit song called Better Off which topped the Triple J Unearthed charts in the first week, reaching No.1 on the Unearthed Rap charts, as well as 15th in the overall charts.

Melo has started 2019 with a bang, with his new single No Smoke and RNB groove tune Delight ft. Kozo of Monroe (band).
​
Follow Melo on Instagram and Soundcloud. And check out his two latest tracks and their inspiration below.
Delight was influenced by my favourite song from this summer just passed (even though its old it never ceased to amaze me) which is Dang! by the late Mac Miller and Anderson Paak. Both an extreme influence to my "vibey" side of things.

I wanted to show a groovy and vibey side of Melo, whilst adhering to the original theme of Dang, and essentially recreating and making an original certified banger out of it. From the deep house trumpet to the melodic bassline, the shit run through your veins. I love showing my variety as well, which is what I plan to do on my upcoming project, set to be released later this year. 
No Smoke was heavily influenced by Drake’s Non-Stop.

The Trap drums that Tay Keith blessed that track with couldn’t go unnoticed. This was a song where I felt people needed to feel aqnd here the aggressive egotistical side to Melo, as usually I'm producing reality rap and chilled vibes. The 6K needed a trap banger with fire bars that relates to us, so I felt obliged to make it.

​I thought that it being an egotistical song, I should come with as many punchlines and metaphors as I could to keep the people on their toes and provide a challenge to keep up without having autotune blocking it. Shit was fucking fire and I actually did it in one take.
