The electrifying Hip-Hop tag team L’Orange and Solemn Brigham are back with a brand new visual for “My People,” a standout cut from their album Marlowe 3, out now on Mello Music Group. The album reached #1 on Bandcamp and #2 on the UK iTunes Hip-Hop charts in addition to garnering critical support from Pitchfork, HipHopDX, Brooklyn Vegan, FLOOD and more. “My People” is a daring, high-octane track that perfectly demonstrates Marlowe’s unique sound. Solemn Brigham raps with the unrivaled energy and charisma that he showcases in his live performances. Solemn says, “My People is definitely inspired by live performances this joint carries a boldness that I feel represents Marlowe well.” On the creation process for the “My People,” L’Orange adds, “We worked on this song forever. There were a lot of changes but we knew we had something and wanted to get it just right.” Marlowe 3 is the third studio album from alt rap dyad, L’Orange and Solemn Brigham. The 18-track project features rap titans Joell Ortiz and Blu on the explosive posse cut Royal; fellow North Carolinan Deniro Farrar on Godfist, as well as a skit from British comedian Romesh Ranganathan in Romesh Says. Album highlights include the laidback introspective Light Trip and Jazz-infused lead single Past life. The track President the Rock was hailed by NPR as “a high-energy song that challenges the old guard, by taking the traditional and breathing fresh life into it.” A testament to their tremendous growth, Marlowe 3 is the duo’s most focused release to-date and superlative completion to the Marlowe trilogy. L’Orange states, “This album feels like a maturity to who we are as a group. We set out to make something that was big, energetic, fun and explosive and I feel like we did that without losing control. I feel like Solemn and I are the best we’ve ever been.” Solemn Brigham concludes, “I want to let all the people know that I feel a closeness to anyone who relates to our music and everyone that I shook hands with on tour or hit me online, thank you it’s definitely been a trip. Let’s keep it moving”

Mello Music Group

Sounds Beautiful Like The Truth

 

Mello Music Group is an internationally renowned record label based in the Sonoran desert of Tucson, Arizona that specializes in Hip-hop, Funk, Jazz, and Soul. Founded in 2007, they have released over 200 projects, moving steadfastly from fledgling indie label to established paragon. Mello artists perennially raise the bar for contemporary hip-hop, honoring tradition while broadening the world’s conception of the ever-expanding art-form.

 

MMG’s success stems in part from the breadth of its roster. The label’s range of talent is unparalleled, running from flagship artists Apollo Brown, Oddisee, Quelle Chris, Open Mike Eagle and L’Orange to mainstay classics like Pete Rock, Joell Ortiz, and Ghostface Killah. Whether it’s boom-bap, avant-garde art rap, psych rock-infused sojourns, jazz-leaning instrumentals, or soul filled production, MMG bridges every sonic, geographic, and

generational gap.

 

Fans of MMG artists include some of the world’s most well-known creatives and brands. Chance The Rapper was so inspired by Apollo Brown that he used multiple beats from Apollo’s catalog on his “10 Day” debut. Lizzo was so moved by Quelle Chris & Chris Key’s song “Sudden Death” that she worked with the pair to re-create the song on her newest album under the title “Coldplay.” Apple head Tim Cook walked out for their annual convention with Oddisee as his soundtrack. From Gatorade to 7-Eleven, Coach to Supreme, synch licensors have been lining up for an authentic soundtrack to back their products. Forbes called Mello “The Most Successful Indie HipHop Label of the Decade.” Even the Library of Congress has included multiple Mello titles in their permanent collection for posterity. Still, the label continually looks ahead, reimagining the role and scope of modern indie labels.

 

Mello Music Group provides music for the soul, from the heart of American culture, opening the realm of the intelligent Hiphop experience through melodic evocations, beats that corroborate the truth, and voices that roar above the rising void and impose order on the terrible & triumphant moments of everyday life. This is the compelling sound of Mello Music Group.
