The star-studded project took some time to piece together as Melly recorded it while in prison.

His Rap career officially began back in 2016, but YNW Melly has spent much of that time in jail. He has repeatedly been arrested on various charges but back in 2019, the rapper was taken into custody for allegedly participating in the murders of two of his YNW associates, Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. Melly has sat in prison since that time as he denies the accusations set against him, but that hasn't stopped him from continuing to pursue his Rap dreams and pressing forward with his career.

With Friday the 13th among us, YNW Melly felt that it was the perfect time to release his latest effort, Just a Matter of Slime. The rapper even delivered a message from the inside via a jail call.

"I just wanna let all my friends and all my fans know, I truly love y'all and I miss y'all," said Melly. "With that being said, I had to drop [an] album, Just a Matter of Slime, just to let y'all know that I will be home in just a matter of slime. And this is not just some ordinary music." Features on the record include Lil Uzi Vert, YNW Gunna, Hotboii, Kodak Black, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Queen Naija, Young Thug, Lil Tjay, Kevin Gates, Future, and Tee Grizzley.
