A Layered Hip-Hop Album Exploring Fame, Society, and Personal Growth — Available October 18th
Amp Melo, a rising Hip-Hop artist known for his raw lyricism and versatile sound, is excited to
present the release of his new album, Off The Bench. The album, including a vinyl, will be available
on all streaming platforms on October 18th.
Off The Bench is a reflection of Amp Melo’s journey to reach his full potential as an artist. While the
album’s overarching theme is personal growth and “getting off the bench” to pursue greatness, its
lyrical content dives deep into broader social and cultural issues. Off The Bench is a debut album
and starting point for Amp Melo. Collaborating with the bassist and producer of Chubby Wallets, DJ
Phonic, Amp finds himself in a new signature sound that hosts infectious basslines and dynamic
soundscapes that embrace and spotlight his rap and singing abilities.
Standout features elevate the project, including Wrekonize of ¡MAYDAY! on “Ridin’ On E,” and The
Grouch of Living Legends on the introspective track “Better Days,.”
Songwriting Themes:
• Phone Addiction & Social Society– Tracks explore the overwhelming influence of
technology and how it impacts our sense of connection and purpose.
• The Complex Nature of Fame– Songs touch on the paradox of fame, presenting it as
something both horrible and necessary in today’s world, especially for artists trying to be seen
and heard.
• Personal Growth & Ambition– The heart of the album centers on the concept of stepping
into yourself as a person and putting distractions aside to chase your dreams.
Standout Tracks:
• “Pay Day”– An upbeat, funky anthem that embraces investing in yourself and celebrating
our efforts in working to build our lives.
• “Ridin’ On E” (ft. Wrekonize)– A smooth yet hard-hitting track that reminisces on the past
living in San Jose, CA.
• “On Key”– An R&B radio-friendly song about love and lust at first sight.
• “Better Days” (ft. The Grouch)– A dynamic song that embraces funky rhythms across a
love for Hip-Hop and connectivity to one’s passion.
