Lowkey 👀🔥 YNW Melly’s Genius Open Mic performance of “Murder on My Mind” remains one of his most viewed acoustic style sessions, stripping the trap production down to a raw vocal delivery that highlighted his melodic range. The song, originally uploaded to SoundCloud in 2017 and later released as a single in 2018, became his breakout hit and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning him a deal with 300 Entertainment. The track explores homicidal ideation, with a chorus he wrote as a teenager during an earlier incarceration. Its notoriety deepened after he turned himself in for double murder charges in February 2019, and prosecutors later sought to use its lyrics as evidence in his 2023 retrial. #rapmusic #hiphop #ynwmelly
