GOD MAGIC
Rediscovering an artist can often be a revitalizing experience. With all the music we get exposed to on a daily basis, it’s easy for certain artists to get lost in the shuffle. I was first exposed to MeLo-X a few years ago when he dropped a dope single featuring Kendrick Lamar and Mickey Factz called “Rapity Rap.” I remember being thoroughly impressed with the way he was able to hold his own on the mic with those two, but since then, I haven’t been able to track his progress quite the way I would’ve liked. Nonetheless, he’s certainly earned a spot back on to my radar with his newest release, “God Magic.” Despite the lofty title, “God Magic” is a down-to-earth, pure, mellow track that instantly conjures up comparisons to Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco & Wale. As the first single off of his upcoming GOD:LoFi EP, “God Magic” certainly sets up some pretty high expectations. We’ll just have to wait and see if he can live up to the hype; something tells me he will.
