We don't know much about Melik yet, except that he's 20 years old and lives in Stockholm. However, that's precisely what makes his swagger all the more notable in his debut track, "Oh Lord". For an unknown rapper, he's pretty damn loud about his confidence.
In "Oh Lord", Melik tells us he's keeping it real while they be faking, and that basically he's amazing all around. Usually, this kind of talk would be pretty exhausting, but luckily for Melik, the song is catchy enough that we embrace his attempts to convince us he's the shit. The track is rooted in the addictive, rowdy type of production characteristic of rap hits blasting at clubs all over town. His rapping style helps with keeping the obnoxiousness to a minimum, Melik sounds his age, but projects a subtle kind of warmth that makes you think of The Weeknd.
Melik's debut is a solid, club-ready rap track—and gives us hope he'll soon be able to prove that yes, he really is amazing.
