Mike Melinoe has always been one to actively switch up his energy and seemingly reinvent himself through every song. Yesterday, he dropped the song “TESLA” with Austin, TX native Flizoshi and it’s a bit different from what we typically get from Mike. Sonically, it’s kind of post-trap meets early 2000s hip-hop, with its heavy bass […]

Mike Melinoe starts out his latest project with a lot of bass, a little bit of oral, and menacing lyricism. A hell of a way to start, yes, but it sets up what unfolds over the rest of the 25-minute project, Oo. On this one, we find Mike battling against himself and others for a […]

Read moreNew Music: @MikeMelinoe x @inDCwetrust_ – "Suicide B4 29"
This track is trippy as balls. In a good way, of course, but still trippy as balls. Mike Melinoe recruits California native DC to contemplate life’s last moments.
