One third of the cult-favorite Dallas rap collective, The Outfit, TX, Outlaw Mel is a lightning rod for his city, attracting attention from outside of the Texas bubble, and diffusing the energy from those lightning strikes into the soil, spreading it for the full city to feel. The Outfit, TX has been steadily pushing Dallas towards nationwide interest for over a decade. Mel and his fellow Outlaws, Jayhawk and Dorian (who has since stepped away from the group to focus on his family), are leading the push in this new direction of Dallas Hip Hop, a sound distilled from the Boogie era and dipped in deep purple hue.
