MeloDownz Shares Single '$moke' Feat. Villette

Avondale rapper MeloDownz has dropped a seductive single titled ‘$moke’ ahead of next week's launch of his Melo & Blues double EP. The melodic track features the velvety vocals of producer and singer Villette and was produced by Frank Keys of local genre-mashers Yoko-Zuna. MeloDownz wrote the track's lyrics when he was hung over and feeling especially vulnerable, as he reflected on his “careless” partying routine. You can catch him throwing down rhymes at 95bFM's free all-ages Drive Island event today at Auckland's Ellen Melville Centre alongside Julien Dyne. Melodownz talked about how his new single showcases his singing skills...

"I used more of a melodic flow then usual as I felt the vibe didn't really need raps, but more singing. This track is definitely a different vibe to what people might be used to from me, but I think it's really relatable”

'Melo & Blues' is out Friday 23rd November via MeloDownz's label Lightside.
