Mel, a Montgomery, Alabama native, creates a distinct and unconventional blend of Southern trap music characterized by unique vocal stylings reminiscent of childish squeals. His second mixtape, EL CHITO, features a variety of beats, incorporating influences from classic trap sounds and more contemporary styles. Notable tracks like 'My Pit' capture a mix of motivational themes alongside vivid storytelling of rags-to-riches narratives. The overall production showcases a fusion of nostalgia with modern interpretations, highlighting both playful and serious tones throughout the mixtape.
EL CHITO, Mel's second mixtape of the year, cranks up his strained-voice hustlenomics on top of beats that mash up multiple eras of trap production, from the heyday of Jeezy to post-Lex Luger Maybach Music tapes.
Better are the beats where you get the sense that the producer fell in love with a specific element of the vintage production style, such as the ominous Shawty Redd-esque synth on 'Boyz 2 Men'.
