Melodownz plans to "take over the world one rhyme at a time" with his languid funk-jazz rap and insightful and thoughtful rap.
First we join Melodownz in a couple of earlier collaborations. First, Third3ye with Angelo King.
Here is Third3eye from a Music 101 session in August 2016 with their songs ’Old Soul’ and 'Feet 5':
