Royce Da 5’9 – “Caterpillar” ft. King Green x Eminem (Video)
May 8, 2018
Royce Da 5’9 just dropped that “PRhyme 2” with DJ Premier, and now he is working another project out here. Yup. Sounds like hitting the street with that work! “Book Of Ryan” is that good work apparently. Exhibit A of the proof of the street value is this “Caterpillar” (featuring King Green and Eminem)

Bridget Kelly – “Reality Bites” (Album)
May 4, 2018
This is Bridget Kelly’s debut album? Seems like she has been in the game past long enough for a debut. She’d likely agree with that presumption. That said, here’s “Reality Bites.”
Janelle Monáe – “Dirty Computer” (Album Stream)
May 3, 2018
Janelle Monáe is letting it all out hang out there nowadays. The now-public ‘pansexual’ (don’t ask us to explain, don’t know and don’t gotta know as long as it doesn’t eff up our sexy android dreams… but you can read up on it here) is telling her full story on the full breadth and depth of her humanity and sexuality. Oh, yeah, and she managed to drop a new album (“Dirty Computer”) on us. Stream that why don’tcha!
Kali Uchis – “Get Up” (Official Video)
May 1, 2018
Okay, so what this is is some kind of reprise to “Gotta Get Up” off Kali Uchis’ album “Isolation” (out now). Actually, what this is is vibe music (pause… reflect… move on), and a video of cutie Kali vibing and writhing in the most sultry way to it.
And now you really want to watch, right?

New visuals from MF DOOM and Czarface for “Meddle With Metal” off “Czarface Meets Metalface” – a collabo LP from Czarface (Inspectah Deck, Esoteric, and DJ 7L) and MF DOOM.
Crazy animation, too.

J. Cole – “Kevin’s Heart” (Video)
April 26, 2018
Cooooold! And we mean that in the dopest way. This right here is yet another example of why #Coleworld is more a declaration of truth than a hash or a click. Dope music AND got Kevin Hart to feature in “Kevin’s Heart” (wowwwww)! Good joint off that “KOD” album out now.

Yes! This is the visual for that new Pac Div jawn we posted on just over a week ago, and we’re “Stoked!”
Pacflix… hahaaa! Oh yeah, and “1st Baptist” is out now.
Chris Orrick – “Design Flaw” (Prod. By L’Orange) [Video]
April 18, 2018
Chris is CRAZY, and so is this video! But that beat and that flow… no “Design Flaw” in any of it. BANGER!
Chris Orrick has always resonated with us b/c every line, every bar, every word, is him searching his soul for, wrestling with, and delivering his innermost truths with complete vulnerability. This is exactly what “Sounds Beautiful Like The Truth” was meant to express when we started Mello Music Group. The idea that when artist’s truly offer their heart then it comes alive and pulses with life – becomes something meaningful and breathing. This is true for music and art, but is also the same place comedy comes from, so it’s no wonder Chris Orrick often elegantly walks the line between comedy & tragedy.

This single off that “Portrait” album.

Meek Mill – “1942 Flows” (Video)
April 14, 2018
…too thorough to move like a weirdo…
Meek Mill fresh out and rapping fresh like the bag just got ripped. Once again out to get his bag AND his ‘respek,’ Mill hit the block to serve these hard street rhymes off the “Wins And Losses” album. Check out visuals for “1942 Flows.”
Mad Squablz – “Lamps” (Album)
April 14, 2018
Full disclosure: It’s Mad Squablz (’nuff said, but hit the jump for more if you want). I was ready to cop as soon as Don hit my inbox with the link! #TeamBackPack go-to for the lyrical flame AND that FIRE! Dropping freestyles and vids all over the Interwebs like you-WILL-know-me! Yup. I’ve had him on the radar for a good while now. Philly-bred emcee and you know how Philly reps off top (Meek Mill, Beanie Sigel, The Fresh Prince, Eve, Black Thought, Kurupt… you get it).
And now he has an album out (“Lamps”). Do yourself a favor and go stream it for FREE (below). Then, if you feel moved and are a true head, do Hip-Hop a solid and support.
