PHOTO RECAP. | Afropunk Day 2.
s the summer comes to an end we find ourselves reminiscing about the good times–one of them being our recent staff outing to Afropunk. The gang was in full effect, snapping flicks and taking names. Afropunk is one of today’s fastest growing music festivals but it felt more like a summer family BBQ being that so many friends of Quiet …
God Amongst Gods.
MeLo-X is one of New York City’s most coveted artists. Sure, MeLo’s name rings bells overseas, but the headquarters of his kingdom lies here in Gotham. He takes the city’s sound, processes them, and then coats them in a rich substance that can only be described as “rhythmic freedom.” He is musical liberation in the flesh. A theoretical martyr giving …
Xtra with MeLo.
As you may have noticed, last week we caught up with MeLo-X at the opening reception for ROCK|THEM. Here is the interview in its entirety. It’s the God, God.
ROCK|THEM Debuts.

A Sip of Sweet Bitch.
We just got wind of the first official visuals from MeLo-X‘s GOD: LoFi EP. Directed by The Martian Project, the video finds MeLo in East Flatbush, Brooklyn dining on delicious caribbean cuisine while sipping his favorite wine, Sweet Bitch. Just when things seem like regular night in Brooklyn, a goddess (Carley Beck) in a flowing white dress and a menacing black skully floats into to join MeLo’s enchanted evening.
Champion God Flow.
Yet again, we have been found guilty being selfish with our spoils. We got our hands on this track from MeLo-X a few days ago, but between palancing to it on a Friday and getting jiggy with it over the weekend, we just didn’t find time to post it. Off his forth coming EP GOD:LoFi, “GOD MAGIC” features MeLo’s signature …
Blued to Perfection.
Soul singer Jesse Boykins III just recently released a video for the single “The Perfect Blues”. The song comes off of his upcoming project Zulu Guru. Due out October 30th, Zulu Guru also boasts a collaboration with MeLo-X. “The color blue is supernatural. It has the power to create a peaceful state and form bonds in any space. It …
Journey to a New Plateau.
Musical collaborations often attempt to sell/display a certain authenticity; they want you to believe that the collaborating artists genuinely like each other and are the best of friends. Although this strategy has its purpose, at times, it can be transparent and overwrought to a point where it just seems like smoke and mirrors. But here we have Cheri Coke and …
