As with most of the tracks I place, I make sure in some way or another that I can connect and relate to the music itself or at least with the artist making the tunes. That said, please do not sleep on this record!
J Mello, an artist out of South Orange, NJ has a little saying that “you can’t kill me/I was born dead†and he’s kind of right. He came out his mother’s womb stillborn but miraculously the doctors were able to bring him back. Much like the first struggle he faced minutes after being birthed, through the years J Mello has overcome hurdle after hurdle and strives in the face of adversity.
His track “Torture” is a bittersweet anthem depicting a rocky relationship that’s getting worse and worse with each passing verse until, well, there’s nowhere left to go but to break from the torture chamber that was once this budding romance. He hopes to break the silence of those that have had similar experiences; use his album as an outlet for those who went through the same circumstances! Please check the video out below:
A few years back, he met Dave Navarro and the two hit it off immediately. Dave, DJ Skribble and J Mello have done countless shows together and have developed quite a rapport. Dave also co produced two tracks on his album, “Torture†and “One More Try,†along with my partner Keith “Lil Wonda†Duplessis who produced a majority of the album. Collaborators on the album include grammy award winning producers Jerry “Wonda†Duplesis, Wyclef Jean, BumbleFoot of “Gunz N Roses,†and Latin Grammy award winning producer duo MilknSizz. His tape is tentaively scheduled for release this Halloween.
