Mello...the best rapper in the Northern Hemisphere,was born June 1 1981 in the slums of the south. As a baby his mother moved him to Omaha, NE, where he crafted his skill as a lyricist under the guidance of his older brother Streets. In fear of what he would later become, he was challenged by his own creed. Devastated by their defeat he was banished to St.Louis, which was the biggest mistake of all. He was given a chance by Andrew a.k.a."Anonymous" Delgado he flourished into.....the best rapper in the Northern Hemisphere, a strong leader who bow's to no man.Also add my music page and listen to my music it is the first on my top 8, "Understanding the Unknown" album coming soon.
