Miami, FL – Despite facing double homicide charges, YNW Melly is moving forward with his new album Melly Vs. Melvin. On Monday (November 18), the currently incarcerated rapper announced the project would arrive on Friday (November 22).
The Instagram post was accompanied by the album’s cover art, which features two photos Melly — one with a scowl on his face and dreads and the other featuring a shorter haircut and blinging smile.
Melly revealed Melly Vs. Melvin was in the works in August, six months after his arrest.
The Florida native has been behind bars since February for his alleged involvement in the murders two his associates, YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser.
The State Florida is reportedly seeking the death penalty and confident it can “prove beyond a reasonable doubt” Melly murdered both men for financial gain.
During a prison phone call with his family in May, Melly said he doesn’t think the charges will stick as he continued putting out music. That same month, he popped up on Lil Keed’s “Pull Up” featuring Lil Uzi Vert.
Then in July, Melly’s team dropped “Dangerously in Love (772 Love Pt. 2),” which was inspired by the title track on Beyoncé’s debut album, Dangerously In Love.
