Melly has an encounter with the law, which will be a recurring feature of his media coverage. The 16-year-old was charged with three counts of aggravated assault and one count of discharging a firearm in public, according to a local Florida newspaper. He is accused of firing a gun at three other students near their high school. Melly has stated that the inspiration for “Murder on My Mind” came after this incident, when he “was locked up”: “I woke up and I had that chorus.”

“Murder on My Mind,” a piano-based hip-hop murder ballad with almost-diaristic intimacy, has been uploaded to SoundCloud. Melly sings, “His body dropped down to the floor and he had teardrops in his eyes/He grabbed my hands and said he was afraid to die.” When he was around 15, he was already posting rough freestyles to SoundCloud under his birth name; by 2016, he had begun using his current rap name. His longtime friends Anthony Williams (YNW Sakchaser), Chris Thomas Jr. (YNW Juvy), and Cortlen Henry are part of the YNW crew (short for “Young N***a World,” he says, unless he’s on TV or somewhere where he can’t cuss—then it’s “Young New Wave”) (YNW Bortlen).
