Mellyโs career initially started to take off in 2018 when singles such as โVirtual (Blue Balenciagas)โ, โButter Pecanโ, and โ772 Loveโ had begun to gain popularity alongside โMurder on My Mind.โ
On August 3, 2018, Melly released his debut mixtape I AM YOU which included his popular single, โMurder on My Mindโ. It also included a sequel to the song called โMind on My Murderโ.
After leaving the studio with companions YNW Bortlen, YNW SakChaser, and YNW Juvy, on the night of October 26, 2018, Melly and his friends had been caught in a drive-by-shooting where SakChaser and Juvy were murdered. Melly and Bortlen were the only survivors of the attack.
While working on his sophomore mixtape, after the death of his friends, Melly had gained more attention and began to obtain cosigns from several rappers such as Young Thug, Trippie Redd, and Kodak Black. However, on January 3, 2019, Melly was arrested for possession of marijuana.
On January 18, 2019, while incarcerated, Melly released his sophomore mixtape We All Shine, which included one of his most influential cosignโs, Kanye West who was a feature on the song โMixed Personalities.โ.
Melly was released from jail on January 25, 2019, and released โGangโ, the first day out single that had taken off after the hype around โMixed Personalities.โ
After being released for only a month, on February 13, 2019, Melly turned himself in after a warrant was put out for him and Bortlen connecting to the murders of YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. YNW Melly posted this to his Instagram on February 13:
To all my fans and supporters no I did not get locked up in Washington , but I am turning myself in today I want you guys to know I love you and appreciate every single one of y'all, a couple months ago I lost my two brothers by violence and now the system want to find justice.. unfortunately a lot of rumors and lies are being said but no worries god is with me and my brother @ynw.bortlen and we want y'all to remember itโs a ynw Family I love you @ynwsakchaser1 and @ynwjuvy #freeus
Prior to his incarceration, songs such as โMurder on My Mindโ and โMind on My Murderโ had gained traction making their way in the Billboard Hot 100 and gaining RIAA certifications in a matter of months. Speculations made people believe that the songs were related to the murders, however, they were soon put to rest due to the time of the recordings being almost two years prior to the shootings.
After spending months incarcerated, on November 22, 2019, he released his debut studio album, Melly vs. Melvin featuring his 9lokkNine-assisted โ223โsโ.
After the rise of COVID-19 disease in 2020, on April 3, Melly had tested positive for the virus while awaiting trial. After being infected, Mellyโs lawyers tried to play this to his advantage and requested a medical release as conditions can worsen in the jail environment. Melly was denied release on April 17 and conditions have been said to worsen since.
After the release of fellow Floridian rapper Kodak Black, Mellyโs team had taken advantage and released โThugged Outโ to keep Mellyโs name alive in the industry. They carried on releasing singles throughout the year with artists such as Queen Naija and Hotboii.
Again, while still awaiting trial, on August 13, 2021, he released his sophomore studio album, Just A Matter of Slime, featuring his highly anticipated Lil Uzi Vert-assisted โMind of Melvinโ.
After prosecutors had claimed they had a confession of Melly admitting to the murders, on November 1, Mellyโs lawyers came out and denied the claims and said that Melly was just rapping a song titled โ4:30 AMโ by Kevin Gates. Soon after, on November 30, Mellyโs trial had been set for March 7, 2022. - TippleTripple123
Butter Pecan
YNW Melly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Motherfuckin' astronaut shit (Southside, you killed this track)
White coupe, butter pecan
Thick bitch, Puerto Rican
Take you out to Paraguay
Or California for the weekend
I'm with Sack and Juvie
Don't flex, don't pretend
You know we spin a bin
Fifty thousand dollar advance in my account, huh
Running up them bands with my mans, and that's how
We gotta get these racks 'cause I can and we
YNW's a family
I might just, cop a Rolex or a cuban link
I been going through some things
I wanted you to see if
You could maintain
This lifestyle that I live
'Cause I am you and you are me 'til the very end
I just want a Cuban link
Wash away all of the pain
Mixing molly with the apple juice
I don't do that no more, who the hell are you?
Smoking on that cranberry kush weed
Wash away all of the pain
Mixing molly with the apple juice
I don't do that no more, who the hell are you?
White coupe, butter pecan (butter pecan)
Thick bitch, Puerto Rican (Puerto Rican)
Take you out to Paraguay (Paraguay)
Or California for the weekend (for the weekend)
I'm with Sack and Juvie
So you gotta bring about three friends
Don't flex, don't pretend
You know we spin a bin (spin a bin)
White coupe, butter pecan
Thick bitch, Puerto Rican
Take you out to Paraguay (Paraguay)
Or California for the weekend (for the weekend)
I'm with Sack and Juvie
So you gotta bring about three friends
Don't flex, don't pretend
You know we spin a bin
I wanna get head from every girl (every girl)
She already know it's a Young Nigga World (mwah)
Get you a fleece with the fur and some extra pearls
Put twenty racks in your pocket
Just in case you need it, I got you (I got you)
We taking off like a rocket (rocket)
She say that I'm ready like Billy and Mandy
But bitch I'm the reaper, she ain't a keeper
I'm creeping in a Jeep but I am not Jeepers Creepers, and yes I
You got finessed for your shit and you know that Young Nigga World did it the right way
You got finessed for your shit and you know that Young Nigga World did it the right
You got finessed out your shit and you know that Young Nigga World did it the right way
White coupe, butter pecan

The opening lines of "Butter Pecan" suggest a whimsical, almost playful tone to the song, as the rapper YNW Melly introduces the producer Izzie on the beat and then declares that what is to follow will be "Motherfuckin' astronaut shit". This tone continues in the next verse, as Melly describes a white coupe (a luxury sports car) and a "thick bitch, Puerto Rican" that he might take to either Paraguay or California for the weekend. He then claims to be with two associates, Sack and Juvie, and encourages his date to bring three friends. However, he warns her not to "flex" or pretend, knowing that his group is quite serious and not to be messed with.
