MeLo-X - Rapity Rap
Artist: MeLo-X
Featuring: Kendrick Lamar , Mickey Factz
Producer: MeLo-X
Album: More Merch
Label: GALAX
Although highly anticipated album More Merch won’t be released until tomorrow (on DJBooth, of course), it feels like Christmas came a few weeks early now that we have some Rapity Rap under our proverbial trees. Produced by MeLo-X himself, with the help of Kendrick Lamar and Mickey Factz on the vocals, Rap proves yet again why these three cats are some of the most prominent upcoming artists in hip-hop. The beat is a repetitive chopped up and faded synth pattern with enough bass drum hits to get your head bobbin or trunk bumpin, while lyrically MeLo kicks off the vocal festivities with sharp rhymes and witty punch lines, nicely setting the stage for Kendrick to follow. Lamar, with the same voice I have when someone wakes me up in the middle of the night on the phone, KILLS the track and actually left me feeling bad for Mickey to follow. However, by changing the flow to a slower pace, Factz also manages to rip the record. In fact, I challenge you guys to find any other song with three emcees going this hard. Go ahead, I’ll give you a moment….

The crazies part about this record, in relationship to the EP that it is on, is that its a bonus track. Yup, a bonus track. Needless to say, that speaks volumes about what is in store for folks who download the entire project at 3pm est on Wednesday.

The emcees do go hard despite the average production. But their flow is enough to get this in rotation.

Ok first off, the title hooked me in. But then i pressed play and my outlook changed. The beat is stange and i like that. Alot. But about 40 secs in, i was completely annoid. So i decided to listen ti it again, and i felt worse about it.... Im just not feeling this from Melo-X. This just isnt my cup of tea.... Also, i wasnt feeling the features from Kendrix and Mickey. An OK song for me.

I turned it on and then forgot to continue to listen. I will say Factz picks it up for me but that ain't enough to save it for me in the end.

Kendrick Lamar and Mickey Factz was spitting hard rhymes in this one. The beat is very nice and different from what you hear on radio everyday.
