Oakland, California rapper Vellione (aka <a href="spotify:artist:5o2e685rYkzKTPXEwR82H3">Vell</a>/Vellqwan) tapped the sounds of '90s rap with his tales of gritty street survival. Delivering bars with a voice reminiscent of <a href="spotify:artist:1ZwdS5xdxEREPySFridCfh">2Pac</a> over production that recalled late-'90s <a href="spotify:artist:6DPYiyq5kWVQS4RGwxzPC7">Dr. Dre</a>, Vellione jumped from guest slots on other rappers' mixtapes to his own solo material. Early singles like "Top of the A.M." (featuring Ldf and <a href="spotify:artist:3m0C6rR5vqwFw9c44eM1Fr">Stevie Joe</a>) and "Hennessy Don't Help" (featuring <a href="spotify:artist:7lX7FtZUfo58ByqmVOC0JA">4rAx</a>) featured the production talents of <a href="spotify:artist:0sJOeCMBvIDiHJ9Ct5h7IF">the Mekanix</a>, who would also go on to produce his debut effort, Stranded on the Wire (<a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Livewire%22">Livewire</a>), which was released in late 2016. ~ Neil Z.
