Menelik

Menelik's rapping voice has a strong and engaging immediacy, but his real skill lays in creating a transcending musical place where hip hop lines and R/B feel co-exist as some spirit force. The Struggle well represent this magical blend and deserves to be one of the best hits out there.

Menelik Goodwill (born June 29, 1991) better known by his stage name "Menelik" an american rapper and director based in Oakland, California. Currently working on his first Mixtape: "Establishin a Name" hoping to broadcast himself and his music across the nation to get a record deal, much like many other young artists. He shoots, directs, and edits his own videos as well as many other local artists. The one characteristic he prides his music on is the refusal to use profanity in his lyrics. This is because he wants to show that there are plenty more words for the youth to use and expanding your diction is always a great benefit.
