Melii started gaining traction after her remix of Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow" went viral. Rihanna also used her song "Icy" during a Fenty Beauty product preview on Instagram in May 2018, giving her even more attention. The Harlem singer and rapper now has her own music out, and her distinctive sound — inspired by her Dominican, Cuban, and French roots — is sure to catapult her into a successful career.
