In 1987 Eric B. & Rakim shook the world with their seminal debut album, ‘Paid In Full.’ Featuring not only the classic title track, but fan favorite “My Melody.” Fast forward 31 years later, in a time when many are saying Hip Hop has lost its steam, Joe Nance comes through like a breath of fresh air with his take on the phrase, “My Melody” Pt. 1. An ode to his Hip-Hop predecessors, the track shines as Joe references notable emcees and R&B artists like KRS ONE, Lecrae, Bob Marley, India Arie and young legend in the making, Kendrick Lamar with the precision of a seasoned emcee. The string heavy production, courtesy of Anno Domini Nation complements My Melody’s inspirational theme of overcoming obstacles and staying the course.
