MC Melodee X Cookin Soul - Check Out Melodee [Mixtape]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.melodee

Just like her homeboy Chuck Inglish, Amsterdam's dutch mistress MC Melodee is taking that "bringin' 88 back"-ish seriously. Her brand new, DJ Whoo Kid-hosted mixtape, Check Out Melodee, doesn't only allude to Eric B. & Rakim in name, but also takes it back in sound to the golden days of cowbells, 808s and scratch samples. Spanish production duo Cookin Soul handles most of the production, but Chuck also drops a beat or two, and even Oh No comes through on the 1s and 2s. Mac Miller, Smiff-n-Wessun and Chuuwee provide some extra 16s. Make sure you grab the mixtape below and don't miss out on Melodee's "Gotta Get Away" video, which we premiered earlier this month, and on our First Look feature on the talented femcee.
