Been Knew-UAES Song Review

Mfn Melo is a legend that is still very much in his prime and has no issue addressing the elephant in the room. Because the artist is so humble some might not realize Melo has been inspiring the scene/industry for a long time because of his flows and how he gives any record he hops on a certain type of rhythm and structure. Melo has been very strategic with what he’s been putting out and the series of records and features and shows he’s been working on for the past two years. This new record is breaking new ground for the pivot gang affiliate but don’t get it twisted. There are not many that are on Mfn Melo’s level, again this new joint is showing that and more..

“Been Knew” is a futuristic boom bap record that has errie melodies, sharp and dull harmonies fused together, and witty and honest bar play that is showing the different types of styles Melo pulls from that are all his own. The chorus is almost scary sounding while at the same time it has this healing energy around it, almost giving outkast or dungeon family vibes. This is no surprise that the production is like this since it comes from Renzell of studio SHAPES, who has been elevating how music and business comes together through the efforts of his studio space all this year. Melo and Renzell make for a unique and necessary team up when it comes to showing the growth of the Chicago emcee, Melo is the true definition of getting better with time and still only just getting started..
