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

But she fuckin' the crew, yeah, she wanna have sex
Got a hundred round extension on that motherfucking thing
If you run up on me wrong, we gotta let the Ruger bang
If you run up the ground, we gotta let the Ruger slay
And you know we tryna get it, gotta get it out of there
I was down on my dick, tryna hit another lick
Gave a fuck 'bout a opp, we tryna up that other Blick
Tryna air it out if they fuckin' with the crew

In YNW Melly's "Killuminati," the song discusses his pursuit of riches and dominance, his dedication to his crew, and his willingness to act with violence. The song is a vivid picture of street life and the cutthroat world that Melly and his crew inhabit. He raps about how he used to struggle to make ends meet and now is focused on getting money and making his way to becoming one of the next billionaires of the world. Melly also emphasizes his crew's loyalty, and he emphasizes that they will take any violence necessary to protect it. The lyrics mention guns, sex, gold chains, and money, all of which highlight the dangerous and hedonistic lifestyle Melly embraces. He proclaims his power within the crew, and states that he controls and has access to resources that are not attainable by everyone.
One aspect of the song is the emphasis on the Ruger, a high-powered pistol that is an essential part of Melly's lyrical arsenal. He mentions that he has a hundred-round extension on it, and that if one runs up on him wrong, he will let the Ruger bang. Melly also mentions his love of "foreign" things, such as foreign cars, and foreigners in general. He references several different types of cars, including a Maserati and Kawasaki, conveying his wealth and financial success.
