"The song is about the personal struggle of aging. Hair being the metaphor for youth in this sense outlines the feelings of a man that feels like his window of opportunity is closing in Hip Hop because balding is a marker of age or escaping youth." - Awon

You Make Me (prod. Mike Wagz) - HEY WTF RECORDS

Mello Music Group To Release New Label Compilation Project!

“Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows” Includes Contributions From Oddisee, Quelle Chris, Mr. Lif, Blueprint, Has-Lo, Georgia Anne Muldrow, yU & More.

“Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows” will be released on Janaury 28th, 2014!

 

Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows is the fourth Mello Music Group compilation – previous compilations include Mental Liberation, Helpless Dreamer, and Self Sacrifice. It’s also perhaps our best to date! 

The album showcases MMG’s ever-evolving roster of top-tier producers and rappers, many of whom (e.g. Oddisee, Quelle Chris, Has-Lo) fill both roles with equal dexterity. Additionally, it features several artists MMG plans to collaborate with in 2014, a testament to our commitment to working with those who possess singular sonic and lyrical abilities. 

Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows is at once compact and comprehensive. Clocking in at twenty tracks, there is not a minute wasted and not a miss in sight. It is diverse and yet somehow cohesive, tailor made to rock your car speakers and your brain stem. It is MMG’s reminder that hip-hop is alive and well, and a reintroduction to a label that’s tried never to forget what makes music compelling. 

With ten distinctive producers behind the boards, the soundscapes on Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows cover the map and the album is all the better for it. Oddisee of course helms the opener and tracks throughout with a musicality like few in Hip-Hop today. L’Orange brings subtle, jazzy suites to the table, and Quelle Chris provides dusty samples looped over hard-hitting drums as well as anyone else on the record. Jeremiah Jae also makes sure the bass-rattling, electronic bangers coming out of L.A.’s beat scene are well represented. Nothing here is solely run-of-the-mill boom-bap. Each beat is far richer and more inventive, able to play on its own and provide the perfect complement to the raps at hand. 

As far as the rhymes are concerned, the rappers we’ve selected for Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows leave nothing to chance. MMG heavyweights like yU and Has-lo cut with long practiced precision, and newcomers like Castle are in top form. The same can also be said of Hellfyre Club features Open Mike Eagle and Milo. Regardless of who’s on the mic, scores of bare-knuckle battle rap bars are tempered with rhymes both emotionally raw and mentally challenging. The MCs on our comp are intelligent and self-aware, capable of the comic, tragic, and in-between at the sound of a snare. They have an old-school reverence for rhyme with a modern state of mind and modern problems. Come-up or comedown, shine or shadow, friend or foe – they are fearless in confronting all fears.   

Above all, Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows is MMG’s opening salvo for the New Year, a sign of the great and innovative music we plan to release. We’re proud to call it the first 2014 jewel in the crown of our crest. 

Check out the first leak, “Invisible Walls” (featuring and produced by Oddisee) from the project.

The Art of Making Love

This is for everyone and anyone who understand that love, not money, makes the world go 'round. Listen, love, and please do share. Thank you family. 

Wanna Be Loved

College is supposed to be many things. College was supposed to be one of the final sanctuaries of the young black adult. 

The sanctuary has been defiled. Where are we to go now?

Released because I felt compelled. Because I made this before it got this bad. These lives lost are real. Not just numbers. RIP to the Young King who lost his life this morning. Quick healing to those who are hanging on by a thread. 

I think the greats look down on us and cry, that's why the art is what it is. 

Pray for peace. Be a blessing. Not a burden. 

Pray for Wiley. It's on fire. 

Pray Blacks can end Self-Extermination.

Just pray. And I mean that. 

The Grim

Life Is Good

Nasty

**LYRICS BELOW** The result of some lovely dame who cared not for my chest piece. Thanks for sharing and listening. I hope this strokes all of your petty bones. #woot 

If I'm petty as hell for writing this song
You Petty LaBelle fa singing along
If loving you, loving you really is wrong 
I'm gon be roooiighhtttt l
cause the Problem with a love bug is they still likely to bite 
You dealing with that itch, betta slap it with Calamine 
and in the mean time
I'm moving on 
I'm blown up
Dy No Mite
having Good Times
got me a new paradigm (pair a dime)
like 20 cents in my pocket
like 20 sins on yo conscious 
i sent You on a guilt trip 
while I'm trippin off of my progress
Au revoir
Voo loo voo coo shay avec mua 
On citas said that to success
Fasholy success acquiesced 
When I was broke you wasn't tryna have ménage a tois
Ta da 
Today I got a new attitude 
new starting 5, how you like The View
Yo opinion 
Is semantics
Like toothpicks in sandwich
Don't fall apart
Cause I'm liable
To be laughing while you dismantling
I'm not a Rude Boy
I'm changed Man 
Now fess up
You messed up 
And said you loved me
You lied and said you love me 
  But I got me a new lover ha ha ha ha how you feel now? 

The difference between driving ms. Daisy and driving ms. Rose is one thinks that's its always sunny, one knows its thorns in the road. (2x)

I thought you loved me
I swear I thought you loved me 
But I got me a new lover ha ha ha ha how you feel now? (2x)

If I'm petty as hell for writing this song
You Petty LaBelle fa singing along
If loving you, loving you really is wrong 
I'm gon be roight
Cause the problem with a love bug is they still likely to bite
You dealing with that itch, bettah slap wit calamine 
And in the mean time you know I left
This whole song on yo voicemail 
Don't hold yo breath I ain't coming back
Naw girl I ain't  bitter I'm sweet
Yo diabetic ass couldn't handle that
I gave TLC and you Creeped
You a r1 r2 L1 l2 X down right up left down right up left
Down right just left 
You Pierced My Soul, you PMS
Ha ha I can't believe it 
Ha I escaped them demon 
Ha ha I'm quite content 
I'm not Catholic But gave you up for Lent 
I can't stand treason, like the government 
So you  been ostracized
That's punishment
I got cuffs even 
For a new girl
Wit a old soul 
And a big brain 
And a sense a humor
And her butt swoll
Like a brain tumor
And her IQ 
Is a haiku 
By Sun Zu, Jesus and Oprah
With A line a peace (a piece)
murder she wrote
With a dissertation on pop culture 
And her own class
With the master status 
Of woman 



I thought you loved me
I swear I thought you loved me 
But I got me a new lover ha ha ha ha how you feel now? (2x)

The difference between driving ms. Daisy and driving ms. Rose is one thinks that's its always sunny, one knows its thorns in the road. (2x)

I thought you loved me
I swear I thought you loved me 
But I got me a new lover ha ha ha ha how you feel now? (2x)
