Melo Kán emerged as a forerunner of this “New West” scene in 2001. Born and raised in Southern California, Melo prepared to tell his tale from the streets of Rialto, Compton, and South Central L.A.To put it simply, Melo is not an artist created in a demographic vacuum.With no luck from a major label, Melo founded his own company in 2002; 4LB (four pound) Musik. Under this umbrella, Melo’s extensive catalog of music stretches over ten mixtapes, two underground releases and one officially released album on Itunes entitled EPU (short for E. Pluribus Unum which is latin for “out of many, there is one”). EPU garnered Melo acclaim in the streets, but more importantly it received the accolade of Peoples Choice Album of the Year at the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards....
