Melii's the music industry's answer to two of the biggest genres right now: hip-hop and reggaeton. At a time where both worlds have collided on numerous occasions, Melii brings a unique flavor of Latin music with her melodies and drum patterns while her bars make it evident that she's from Harlem. After a full year since the release of breakout track, "Icey," she makes her formal introduction to the masses with her latest project, phAses.
Melii showcases her artistry at its fullest on phAses. While tracks like "Gangsta Talk" showcase her abilities as a rapper, she showcases her melodic side on many of the tracks while embracing her Latin heritage. The project is 14-tracks in length with features from Tory Lanez, Odalys, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie who features on the previously released, "HML."
Peep her new project below.
