YNW Melly - Bio, Net Worth, Height

ORIGIN
YNW Melly is an American rapper and songwriter from Gifford, Florida. Several of his famous tracks include “Murder on My Mind,” Melly the Menace,” and “Slang that Iron.” Born Jamell Demons on May 1, 1999, he was raised in Gifford, a small Florida town 150+ miles north of, more popular, Miami. Melly grew up idolizing Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne. More importantly, he wanted to be like everyone; a fact that would later showcase itself throughout his lyrics. In 8th grade, Melly recorded his first single at a friend’s house using a make-shift setup. Immediately after, he expanded on this by uploading numerous tracks to SoundCloud and Facebook. Little did he knew that he was slowly becoming popular in his hometown.

CAREER
Being brought up in an impoverished setting, Melly made the harsh street life get the best of him. At the age of 16, he was involved in a shootout. He was charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault and gun possession. That, however, was barely the calm before the storm as he would build a track record with the legal system; constantly in and out of jail. Like many rappers, it took jail time for him to realize his true talent. From listening to a wide scope of artists, ranging from Lil Wayne to Taylor Swift, he successfully polished his craft penning several, soon to be released, tracks while incarcerated. With the intention of attracting everyone, Melly coupled vivid bad-boy rap with enticing soft melodies.

In 2017, once discharged from prison, YNW Melly released a constant flow of singles and videos. One such single “Murder on My Mind” created quite the buzz and gave the rapper spotlight attention. Without a doubt, it became one of his biggest hits to date. The music video, later uploaded to YouTube in August 2018, has accumulated a staggering 24+ million views. One of his earliest projects, the Collect Call EP, featured establish rappers John Wicks and Lil B, alongside others. Other popular hits to date include “Melly the Menace,” “Catching Feelings,” “Slang the Iron,” and “772 Love.”

In 2018, his “I Am You” mixtape dropped. The project featured a collection of his popular songs. He is planning on releasing a follow-up mixtape titled “Young Nigga Waves.” Despite being unsigned, Melly has no intention of slowing down. He recently released the music video “Butter Pecan.” It already amassed well over 1 million views on YouTube in as little as 1 week.

In 2019, his latest tracks, “Mixed Personalities” ft Kanye West and “Mama Cry”, released in January and February respectively, have received over 60 million streams online.
