Mello Music Group | ‘Bushido’
Mello Music Group revives the repetitive-sounding rap scene with their 20-track effort, Bushido. In short, the project finds a collective of musicians using their impeccable wordplay to speak on an array of essential topics. Moreso, the music clan talks about real-life issues, tying in pop culture so that listeners can comprehend what’s happening around them. Sonically, the album takes on a disparate musical style, ranging from boom-bap to jazz to pop and EDM.
In better terms, their catalog is a practical and spiritual guide to the essence. Because of their notoriety in the hip-hop world, they come on the instrumentals effortlessly and with a laid-back approach, seemingly schooling the newcomers.
Mello Music Group includes Apollo Brown, Oddisee, Quelle Chris, Joell Ortiz, L’Orange, Mike Eagle, Skyzoo, Homeboy Sandman, Namir Blade, Lasso, Seba Kaapstad, and Solemn Brigham. Bushido features many more artists, which you can see in the tracklist. Together, they reflect the richer sounds of every period in life.
“I’m very excited about the situation and the opportunity with Mello Music Group. Partnering with Mello Music at this stage of my career is a blessing. As a label, they let you be yourself and let you be an artist; while also helping you expand independently,” Stalley, the label’s newest signee, exclaimed to Billboard.
“They understand me as an artist and as a creative, which is very important. They have a great and enthusiastic fanbase, and I look forward to merging my brand and fanbase with theirs. I look forward to growing with the label.”
