Mellyβs career initially started to take off in 2018 when singles such as βVirtual (Blue Balenciagas)β, βButter Pecanβ, and β772 Loveβ had begun to gain popularity alongside βMurder on My Mind.β
On August 3, 2018, Melly released his debut mixtape I AM YOU which included his popular single, βMurder on My Mindβ. It also included a sequel to the song called βMind on My Murderβ.
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 cosignβs, Kanye West who was a feature on the song βMixed Personalities.β.
Melly was released from jail on January 25, 2019, and released βGangβ, the first day out single that had taken off after the hype around βMixed Personalities.β
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 itβs a ynw Family I love you @ynwsakchaser1 and @ynwjuvy #freeus
Prior to his incarceration, songs such as βMurder on My Mindβ and βMind on My Murderβ 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 β223βsβ.
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, Mellyβs 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, Mellyβs team had taken advantage and released βThugged Outβ to keep Mellyβs 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 βMind of Melvinβ.
After prosecutors had claimed they had a confession of Melly admitting to the murders, on November 1, Mellyβs lawyers came out and denied the claims and said that Melly was just rapping a song titled β4:30 AMβ by Kevin Gates. Soon after, on November 30, Mellyβs trial had been set for March 7, 2022. - TippleTripple123

Shawty wanna go 'cause I'm gettin' this check
Hoppin' out the coupe, tell her give me that neck
If you wanna fuck my gang
.40 with a dick, I'ma let the nuts hang
Shawty say she with it and she like my swang
Iron in what I trust, 'cause that's what I slang
You say you got death on your mind
Shut the fuck up, boy, you're tellin' to the nine
Load up the carbon, bust it at his eye
You niggas really be snitches in disguise
I don't wanna take no losses so I'm playin' all for keeps
And my heart can't take no more of all this pain attackin' me
I don't wanna take no heartbreak so I'm playin' it for keeps
And my heart can't take no more of all this pain attackin' me
I been through a lot of shit, yes, I done seen some crazy things
Every time I go to sleep I got some demons chasing me
And she told me it was real but the way that I'm feeling now
Is if I ever see her, I'ma go kapow!

And I keep that stick and I'll squeeze, ho
Put it through his head like I'm tryna give him chemo
Was the night before Christmas, I was with my niggas
Ridin' in a stolo, clutchin' on them triggers
They wouldn't let me squeeze, they wouldn't let me squeeze
You with Melly, crack your melon, you can get your lemon squeezed
I got a lemon squeeze on the nina
My dawg need the cheese, he'll cut you down for that Velveeta
He talk like he got stripes, I guess he think he with Adidas
Hit him in his head, that's gon' make 'em all the sweeter
Hey sir, I don't fuck with snoopers
I got a gun, it's not an action movie, won't be bloopers

Big old titties on this gun, this bitch could work for Hooters
