CASH LANKSY - ITS GIVIN (Official Video)

Mello Music Group 2024-03-27 | A feel good record mixed with life lessons. Giving advice to others but realizing you need those words - Cash Lansky

Directed by Pablo Serrano
Cash Lansky "Man of the House"
orcd.co/manofthehouse

Never sacrifice the art for anything and never leave home without your respect. Southwest representer Cash Lansky hails from the deserts of Tucson, Arizona about 45 minutes from the Southern border. His story is one of family, trials, growth, and being forced into a role all too many young boys face - being the Man of the House at a young age. Wise beyond his years, Cash grew up quick. This record is the heartfelt result of being able to reflect on that life and bring forth the lessons and stories that make great art.

Produced by Torrence Wade and Mario Luciano
Mixed by Willie Green / Asst Eng. Mose Wheeler
Mastered by Dana Fehr
Engineered by Jesus Saurez

From the Director Pablo Serrano:
"Envisioning the visual narrative for Cash Lansky's 'It's Givin' was a rush of inspiration. With its angelic tones and serene ambiance, this track was a breeze to interpret visually. As Cash's assertiveness punches through the melody, I positioned him at the head of a table, a symbol of authority also echoing the album's cover art. The vibrant color palette, a departure from the previous video's somber tones, offered a breath of fresh air, as a celebration of life's vibrancy. The scenes with cute critters and blossoms, weaving through Cash's words of wisdom, illustrating themes of patience, transformation, and devotion. From budding flowers to a caterpillar's metamorphosis, each frame echoes Cash's message of resilience and love. And to end ita a gathering with a toast (of apple cider and lemonade), as a testament to life's simple pleasures. 'It's Givin' a ode to bliss, love, and the unstoppable force of loyalty."

Cash Lansky - It's Givin
Produced by T-Wade & Mario Luciano
Mixed by Willie Green

About The Single “It's Givin”
In crafting this piece, Cash Lansky sought to weave together a tapestry of light-hearted optimism and profound reflection. His intention was to explore the intricate dance of offering guidance to others while also acknowledging the times when he himself must listen to the very advice he dispenses. To achieve this delicate balance, T-wade brought to life haunting vocals, underscored by the depth of heavy bass and the rhythm of drums. For Cash Lansky, the act of giving transcends mere action; it is seen as a responsibility, a practice imbued with patience and introspection.

Launched in August 2022, Mello Sessions is a digital concert series held at the Mello Music Group Headquarters in the Sonoran Desert of Tucson, Arizona and streamed on Bandcamp Live that brings ticket-holders inside the label’s offices for intimate, 25-minute performances with label artists.

About The Album "Rediscovery": With everything gained as you navigate adulthood, there is often a corresponding sense of loss. For all the accrued wisdom and freedom to map your own destiny, it can become harder to find joy and a sense of wonder. What instilled magic and excitement as a kid can feel remote and inaccessible. As Pablo Picasso famously claimed: "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."

This is the subtext of Elaquent’s latest Mello Music Group release, Rediscovery. It’s the latest immersive world built by the Canadian producer, who has enlisted an Avenger’s universe worth of rap assassins including Chester Watson, Skyzoo, Sonnyjim, Brainorchestra, and Namir Blade. This is both a time capsule from the past and a touchstone encapsulating his last few years – bridging virtuosic production mastery with the playful creativity of pre-adolescence.

“The record signifies a return to form. I wanted to rediscover the things in my life that make me happy and help me find my inner child,” Elaquent says. “Martial arts movies, pro wrestling, video games, collecting action figures, traveling – all things that I grew up loving that at some point I fell out of love with – the one’s that over the last few years, I really started falling in love with again. I wanted to dedicate the album to that feeling.”

Over 14 tracks, you’re reminded of the euphoria of first ideation. A return to the mentality of the teenager in the little room with outsized dreams, unremitting passion, and the desire to pour their soul into every soundscape.

“I’m best known for mostly instrumental hip hop, but I got the urge to collaborate with my favorite artists and a few new ones,” Elaquent says. “That was why I got into making beats into the first place, and liked the idea of following it up with the last Mello record, Forever is a Pretty Long Time. This is a heart on my sleeve type of record.”

"I spent months in a creative block and then went to LA to visit my friend Tek.lun. Watching him create and him introducing me to some new techniques and plugins definitely helped get me out of the block, but also discussing life and the things that make us happy helped me get into the right space. Had been leaning into things to find my inner child; retro video games, martial arts movies, pro wrestling, collecting action figures, 90s hip hop, traveling, food I ate as a child, why I started making beats in the first place; all things that got me nostalgic and reminiscent of my younger days before bills and life forced me to move on from some of those things." - Elaquent on making his new album "Rediscovery"

"Ave is my fav rapper so I was especially happy about this collab. He tells a story about his recent tour life and ironically, I first got attached to his music while on tour myself. Heavy drums on some melodic piano." - Elaquent on IYKYK and working with Ivan Ave

PARADIME - ANNIE (Official Video)

Mello Music Group 2023-09-05 | From Paradime' album "PERIOD."
orcd.co/paradime-period

"Annie" showcases Paradime's songwriting artistry. It tenderly embodies the father-daughter bond, making the track uniquely compelling. The song beautifully portrays a father's deep affection and the transformative essence of his connection with his daughter. Paradime, dual roles as a musician and dad, accentuates this anthem. Clearly a "GO GET IT GIRL" melody, its scope is wider, heralding global women's empowerment.

Paradime says... "Annie.. probably one of my favorite songs on here and maybe ever. Chanes sent me this beat and the sample was saying “Annie” and it’s my daughters name. It was like meant to be.. Its beautiful. Like people don’t say that about hip hop.. but this song is beautiful and I wanted to say what she means to me, and I think it came out exactly how I wanted."

I’ve seen him solidify a spot in this game with his abilities.. and again.. he’s a friend of mine.. Apollo Brown?? Cmon. The guy is a monster.. and he made this track specifically for me and this project and the track does as much work as the emcees.. it’s so deep and heavy.. The theme and delivery is all based on some concrete legendary type shit.. this spot was earned, and maintained.. and those last few lines about “like it’s ‘99 and I’m bustin at Drews, Shoes is playing “Livin Proof”, I got an oil can in my hand, a pre roll in my boot”. It’s an homage to those nights.. House Shoes spinning and all these legendary emcees in one building.. Fosters cans and snuck in jibs.. And here we are still maintaining."

Mello Music Group 2023-07-25 | The only retirement for an artist is death. Art isn’t a hobby, it’s a calling. A way of living, seeing, and synthesizing the world. For real musicians, the melodies never cease. For a serious MC, the words don’t stop flowing. But sometimes their creations aren’t ready to be shared with the world. This is the paradox that dominated the last dozen years of Paradime’s life – a sabbatical that has been graciously snapped with the release of his Mello Music Group debut, Period.

"When I first heard Flowers Die, I immediately knew I wanted to go the creative and hands on route which is why I chose to do stop motion animation. The sound of the beat is pretty warm in my opinion, so I wanted the color palate and magazines I chose to reflect that feeling. Was very excited to find old 90's wildflower magazines which worked perfect for the animation." - Director Dalton Voss

STALLEY - DILLA BAP (Official Video)

Mello Music Group 2022-12-06 | Over the “Dilla Bap” orchestration that channels the late great Motown producer, Stalley drops lightning bolts of wisdom and dazzling rhyme schemes that concisely summarize the perils of the rap game:

“Hard times when you trying to be a rhymer/being a rapper puts you in the line of fire/Everything evil is what you most desire/being tough is what they must honor, until you’re fighting for your life in front of your honor/Then all that street shit and beef shit turn into karma,. All from trying to add on additional commas/I wish we listened to momma’s who tried to calm us.”

Marlowe (LOrange & Solemn Brigham) - My People || Official Video

Mello Music Group 2022-11-17 | The electrifying Hip-Hop tag team L’Orange and Solemn Brigham are back with a brand new visual for “My People,” a standout cut from their album Marlowe 3, out now on Mello Music Group. The album reached #1 on Bandcamp and #2 on the UK iTunes Hip-Hop charts in addition to garnering critical support from Pitchfork, HipHopDX, Brooklyn Vegan, FLOOD and more.

“My People” is a daring, high-octane track that perfectly demonstrates Marlowe’s unique sound. Solemn Brigham raps with the unrivaled energy and charisma that he showcases in his live performances. Solemn says, “My People is definitely inspired by live performances this joint carries a boldness that I feel represents Marlowe well.” On the creation process for the “My People,” L’Orange adds, “We worked on this song forever. There were a lot of changes but we knew we had something and wanted to get it just right.”

Marlowe 3 is the third studio album from alt rap dyad, L’Orange and Solemn Brigham. The 18-track project features rap titans Joell Ortiz and Blu on the explosive posse cut Royal; fellow North Carolinan Deniro Farrar on Godfist, as well as a skit from British comedian Romesh Ranganathan in Romesh Says. Album highlights include the laidback introspective Light Trip and Jazz-infused lead single Past life. The track President the Rock was hailed by NPR as “a high-energy song that challenges the old guard, by taking the traditional and breathing fresh life into it.”

A testament to their tremendous growth, Marlowe 3 is the duo’s most focused release to-date and superlative completion to the Marlowe trilogy. L’Orange states, “This album feels like a maturity to who we are as a group. We set out to make something that was big, energetic, fun and explosive and I feel like we did that without losing control. I feel like Solemn and I are the best we’ve ever been.”

Solemn Brigham concludes, “I want to let all the people know that I feel a closeness to anyone who relates to our music and everyone that I shook hands with on tour or hit me online, thank you it’s definitely been a trip. Let’s keep it moving”

STALLEY - FRESH LINEN (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Mello Music Group 2022-11-10 | Ohio’s blue-collar beacon, Stalley premiered the official music video for “Fresh Linen,” exclusively on @revolt . The poignant melodic rap tune is the second single off Stalley’s forthcoming album, Somebody Up There Loves Me, out on December 6, 2022, released via Mello Music Group.

“Fresh Linen” directed by the master class rapper himself, Stalley, and filmed by Bolo is a testament to Stalley’s meticulous craftsmanship. The MadKeys produced track is a soulful street gospel full of hard-earned wisdom. The video depicts Stalley as an entrepreneur laundromat owner, assisting his clientele while the bearded emcee drops dazzling bars.

“We need leaders here, I’m just trying to be of the light and try to lead us there, a beacon of hope/On the uprise, never seeing the slope/Push against waves how we steering the boat, the tongue sharp like a sword is/Tearing your throat these words get chilly when reality spoke.”

Stalley’s latest “Fresh Linen,” and upcoming Somebody Up There Loves Me album offers a life-affirming gravity to his declaration that “God, family and morals” are everything that he stands on.

ABOUT STALLEY:
Stalley rolled out of the Midwest and into the ring as a rap contender with a deft and deadly flow. The Ohio native has quietly generated tens of millions of streams and collaborated with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Scarface, Rick Ross, Curren$y, the late Nipsey Hussle, and more. Along the way, he has delivered a series of acclaimed projects, including Ohio [2014], Tell The Truth Shame The Devil [2018], and Reflection Of Self: The Head Trip [2019]. During 2021, he capped off a prolific run with Gone Baby Gone. Of the latter, Earmilk declared, “Stalley reasserts his rap status.” Additionally, he joined forces with powerhouse producer Apollo Brown for the collaborative Blacklightmet with praise from Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork who proclaimed, “He strides between legacy-building, coordinating designer outfits with his partner, and deconstructing street politics in the face of loss with dizzying ease.” Partnering with Mello Music Group, he turns the page on the next chapter with Somebody Up There Loves Me in 2022, displaying lyrical virtuosity without apology. It’s Stalley leveled up all around.

ABOUT MELLO MUSIC GROUP:
Launched in 2007, Mello Music Group serves as home to Apollo Brown, Oddisee, Quelle Chris, Open Mike Eagle, L’Orange, Shirt, Pete Rock, Joell Ortiz, Ghostface Killah, and Stalley. Based in the Sonoran desert of Tucson, its catalog exceeds over 200-plus projects across boom-bap, avant-garde art rap, and beyond. It has also quietly impacted the culture with Chance The Rapper and Lizzo mining artists for inspiration and beats. Even AppleC.E.O. Tim Cook once strolled on stage at the company’s annual convention to the sounds of Oddisee. It’s no wonder Forbes christened Mello Music Group, “The Most Successful Indie HipHop Label of the Decade,” and the Library of Congress has included multiple titles in its permanent collection for posterity. Mello Music Group informs and influences the future with integrity.

Homeboy Sandman - Satellite (Official Video)

Mello Music Group 2022-11-02 | Homeboy Sandman shares the music video for “Satellite,” off his upcoming album Still Champion. The Queens native walks thirty miles across four boroughs in a day to deliver astonishing visuals for the laidback boombap anthem. Homeboy Sandman’s Deca-produced album “Still Champion” is due for release November 11th on Mello Music Group. orcd.co/stillchampion

“Satellite” showcases Homeboy Sandman’s growth as an artist as he creates a fresh and new interpolation to his 2014 song Stroll. Similarly to the Stroll video, “Satellite” sees the Queens-bred wordsmith walking throughout the boroughs of New York City but with a more seasoned perspective. He explains, “I love it but I felt I could improve upon it. I felt I could write a song that had way more depth and way more commentary and insight rather than just things I see when I walk around. “Satellite” is my definitive environment record but it’s not only what I see, it’s what I see means.”

SHIRT - Dave Chappelle Is Wrong (Beef With God) | Official Audio

Mello Music Group 2022-10-19 | PRODUCED BY JACK SPLASH
“Dave Chappelle Is Wrong (Beef With God)” fuses Shirt’s airtight flow and wordplay with an off-kilter groove. Serving as the opening track of the new album, the song highlights bold ideas from the artist regarding the times we live in, covid, mass shootings, influencer culture, and traumatic upbringings. “Beef With God” is meant to articulate the larger idea of challenging even your heroes. Engaging with the phrase conceptually, adding it to the title of the work, and tagging the account on Instagram of the same name, we learn @BeefWithGod is actually an art and choreography practice and moniker by Shirt’s friend, the artist Renata Pereira Lima. Influenced by notions of postmodern dance, Beef With God are Guerilla-style interventions by Renata executed in the form of live dance performances and happenings, that Shirt has been particularly inspired by for some years now. Speaking directly to Dave Chappelle’s recent statements and comedy routines referencing the LGBTQ community as well as cancel culture et large, Shirt sends a message straight from the heart to the iconic comedian, rapping, “I might’ve learned to fight ‘fore I learned to talk––I got a slick mouth, you already know it. I don’t wanna hear your musty Chappelle opinion. I don’t need your review, I read a million. I’d tell that man to his face: You hurt people and put people in danger. Simple as that, the jokes put people in danger. The dummies think it’s funny. I think you should be more careful who you make comfy––I don’t care about the money.”
