uMaNg & Melvin Junko – Not For The Faint Of Art [Album Stream]

Salt Lake City-based emcee uMaNg and beatmaker Melvin Junko pushe the boundaries of contemporary boom bap with their new project, “Not For The Faint Of Art”.

The album 12-track effort is a powerful fusion of uMaNg’s razor-sharp lyricism and Melvin Junko’s gritty, soul-infused beats, creating a visceral musical experience that pays homage to hip hop’s roots while simultaneously carving out a unique contemporary sound. Tracks like “Spacesaver”, “Rite of Passage”, “Pain Angel”, “Air Wolf”, and “Lizard Brain” demonstrate the duo’s commitment to authentic, uncompromising hip hop. As a testament to their underground credentials, the album is designed for true hip hop purists — those who appreciate intricate wordplay, complex production, and music that challenges and provokes. It’s not just an album, but a statement about the enduring power and artistic depth of hip hop as a musical form.
