“Every day you profit…you won” …words to live by from your soon to be favorite rapper… “Casino Mel.” I know “strong words” or “too high of praise” for a MC many have never heard of if any have ever witnessed an “artist” blessed with the rare ability to write timeless classics that often challenges the mind while soothing the soul the way in which “Casino Mel” does with effortless regularity.
Born Jarmel Brown Lee AKA “Casino Mel” in tiny Abbeville, South Carolina population 5,237 serves a proof that the biggest of talents can come from the smallest of places. Destined to be just another urban statistic due to a series of unwise decisions made as a youth from “trapping” to “gambling” ultimately led to Mel being incarcerated for 34 months at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Edgefield located in South Carolina.
Signed to arguably the south’s #1 independent record company “Five Star Empire” led by CEO and veteran music executive “Jervon'ta ‘Stunna’ Walker” are both the label and visionary entrusted with making “Casino Mel” a household name. Setting the stage, teaming up with Trap God himself Gucci Mane on the years hottest collaboration entitled “Trap Nigga” for a once in a generation caliber smash record off the highly anticipated mixtape Casino My Religion 2: High Stakes that’s guaranteed to leave your ears wanting more…. Your best bet is to put it all on the Casino…Casino Mel that is.
Growing up in Abbeville, South Carolina Casino Mel was determined to
live the life that rappers had. He eventually got caught up in the
streets, which was the closest thing to the lifestyle he wanted that
eventually landed him in prison for three years. After going through
that experience Casino Mel became totally focused on music. He saw
music as a positive way to follow his dreams and also help those
around him. His first deal would come about in a spontaneous way.
While waiting for a bus to get to his college classes he ended up
having a conversation with two guys. They found out he rapped, so he
freestyled on the spot, two weeks later he received his first deal.
Talent and drive have always been on his side. Now through local shows
he built a good name for himself that he is continuing to expand on.
Currently Casino Mel has a deal with Five Star Empire and he is known
for his storytelling abilities. He uses music to paint clear pictures
that even someone who hasn’t walked in his shoes can still understand.
Casino Mel feels he has to make it for his entire city and his son.
With all of that pressure he uses it to go harder with his craft. He
has plans to build businesses in Abbeville, giving other people a
chance to make an honest living. “Make it 80” is what Casino Mel lives
by. With everything he does he raises the bar. Just like in a high
steak poker game he puts it all on the line; in the studio, stage, and
in life. More than an artist, he is an example of changing your life
by simply following your dream.
Five Star Empire's very own Casino Mel is gearing up to release his
mixtape project titled "Casino My Religion", Trap Nigga is the first
single off that project. Feedback and Support is appreciated.
