Yet another Odd Future album in this series, which makes it up to three so far. The thing about these kids is that they have only been releasing albums since 2008, but in that time they have released 16 albums and I haven't listened to many of them so it seems appropriate that when I do listen to a new OF album, I review it.
MelloHype consists of producer Left Brain and MC Hodgy Beats. Unlike other popular OF emcees Tyler, the Creator or Earl Sweatshirt, Hodgy Beats doesn't seem as reliant on shocking lyrics and gruesome imagery so this album is a little easier on the conscience than other OF releases. He manages to create great, if slightly unusual stories using catchy hooks and clever wordplay.
Like all OF releases, the production is minimal sounding and completely different than anything else that is currently going on in hip-hop. Like them or love them, MelloHype and the rest of their Odd Future brethren are here to stay.
Until tomorrow.....
