Fusing an eclectic blend of passion and insightful lyricism, Melo creates a sound that resonates universally.  To put it simply, Melo is not an artist created in a demographic vacuum. His stories of struggle and triumph transcend age, race, and demographic barriers and serve as inspiration to a generation lacking any definitive leadership. His artistry stands out in an industry of sameness as he pushes the limits of creativity while balancing the needs of his listeners who crave much more than just a short sugar high.  Melo says, “Nobody makes albums that people can still listen to years down the line anymore. I strive to make records so complete that ten years later when you listen, you’ll say damn I wish brotha’s still made records like this!” Similar to early rap pioneers such as Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and Grandmaster Flash; there is a message in Melo’s music.  While he believes music should be fun, he also believes it should address socioeconomic issues of the time.
