Mellzy (@heymellzy) – Behind The Music
Over Da Trackformerz production, Mellzy drops off some new music not sure which project this will end up on but Mellzy had this to say about his new record below
I feel myself getting better, soundin’ more like an artist, yet at the same time, I’m slowly gettin’ less and less interested in bein’ an artist. I start realizin’ what I feel like my personal success is and notice that as a man, I’m becomin’ a success that was once titled a failure, and as an artist, I’m becomin’ bigger, but not seein’ any profit from it makes me seem unsuccessful. I don’t think thats how you measure success.. anymore. Of course, me being me, I had no way of explaining this except through music. Just hear me out. – Mellzy.
