TORONTO, April 19, 2024 – Toronto’s dynamic hip hop artist, Melo Griffith, returns with his brand new single “Avenue”, produced by Travis Thickle. The track paints a vivid picture of an intimate conversation between two lovers, set against a backdrop of suave melodies, clever lyrics, and captivating flows.
At its core, “Avenue” embodies a message of unwavering confidence and perseverance. Melo Griffith explains, “People may try to play you and show you attitude, but that doesn’t phase me. My ability to keep focused on the bigger and better achievements in my life leaves those who doubt or hate still spinning the block to hit me up and show love.”
The energy of someone unaffected by the thoughts and opinions of others is both magnetic and undeniable, and “Avenue” captures this sentiment with finesse. Through his music, Melo Griffith aims to inspire listeners to keep their heads up and their eyes on the prize, reminding them that real recognizes real, and success is measured by one’s ability to stay focused amidst the noise.
“Avenue” is out now on Spotify and all major streaming platforms.

About Melo Griffith:
Melo Griffith is an alternative rap and Indie R&B artist using hypnotic voicing and colourful lyricism to bend the lines of contemporary hip-hop creativity. Raised in the GTA and with roots in Ottawa, Melo has learned to mix smooth blues and funk influences with a raw adaptation of the inner city Toronto Rap Sound. His ability to use bedroom dream tones and powerful expressions allows him to build world-like soundscapes eliciting vivid imagery and deep emotion in the music. This is where we truly find a Vivid Imagination Being Evolved by Melo – a VIBE if you will.
As we’ve seen in Melo’s past projects — the debut, CTFO, and the Travis Thickle collaborative EP, The Caves Have Wifi — the artist prides himself in his versatility and vulnerability within the music to both touch on relatable subject matter and storytelling, as well as a raw celebration of life. Giving odes to the youthfulness that one should cherish and cheers to the good times (both come and gone), Melo’s goal is to leave something incredible and beautiful to be remembered by.
Whether he’s bringing heavy dynamic energy, or gliding on smooth melodies, Melo continues to push the boundaries of his creativity as a black-male artist in the Toronto music scene, not allowing himself to be confined to standard rap methodology and instead exploring the indie-alternative and bedroom pop sides of his musicality. In one word he is “Rapternative”.
