music – Where rap Music speaks to you

Thanks for joining me on this new journey, I really hope you enjoy my blog! I will be writing about current or past artist and my honest opinions on them and how I feel about their music.

To start this off, I’m going to talk about one of my favorite current artists, YMW Melly or his real name Jamell Maurice Demons. I will talk specifically about 2 of my favorite songs on his first album and 2 on his newest.

Melly' album I AM YOU is Melly sitting on a white chair with a girl also in white kneeling in front of him. they are splashed with paint

Melly is a young artist that is on the rise. His debut album was I AM YOU which was released on, August 3 2018, where he took the billboard by storm. Many of his songs where made it in the top 200 and the song he is most popular for, Murder on my Mind, made it to top 20. I believe this song deserved to reach up there because its truly a great song. But, my absolute favorite song form him is Mama Cry, because it kinda tells the story of how he want to jail and his mother was obviously upset. The chorus is

"Mama, please don't you cry, I'm sorry
I just caught some time, I'll be home soon
It won't be long, I promise
I will be okay, just wipe those
Tears off of your face, I'm sorry
I won't right my wrongs, I'm guilty
Lord, have mercy, please forgive me
Mama, please don't you cry, I'm sorry"

These lyrics really work well with the overall feel with the song and almost makes you feel like your apologizing to your mom about going to jail. the best part of this song is the music video, I generally try and avoid watching the music video and stick with the audio but the music video really sold the song.

Melly is facing with his back to us with a white shirt that says "U Shine, I Shine, We All Shine

Now i’ll talk about songs I like on his new album, We All Shine. I actually like a couple songs I didn’t expect myself to like, for example Butter Pecan. The song has a great beat and is a song just great for dancing to or getting yourself bopping, especially if you get the base boosted. I also like the song Mixed Personalities, the song is a fun song and is something to get you moving rather than something that made you pay attention to the lyrics. The music video for this song is honestly so weird but I enjoyed the vibe. Something that made me really happy is that Kanye West is feat. in this song and Kanye is a great influential musician although I cant say the same about his political view but I’ll save that for another time.

My favorite song from this album so far is No Heart, where hes rapping about the sorrows of being betrayed by his love interest at the time, and now hes not playing fair with his love. To be completely honest I love his first album more than this album but he still one of my favorite artist in this day and age. I rate Melly a 7/10 because he has a lot of potential and works hard to make his songs something he love but also his fans would. But, unfortunately Melly was convicted of the murder of his two friend so we cant hope that he will continue to release music anytime soon, so he actually did have “Murder on his Mind” .
