Melaphyre, the premiere artist from Fight For Us!!/Ayo Inc., started giving the world his perceptions of hip hop after listening to a criminal minded tape in mid to late 1986. Ironically, Melaphyre would take the stage with the M.C. KRS-1. Melahpyre is 1/5 of the cult legend group Survivalist. Bringing his second solo album to the table, "Ugliness" touches on a lot of the ills in society in a reflective yet scathingly informative way. There is a genuine quality that comes across once the presence of this M.C. that is communicated through the music. Put Melaphyre"s second solo opus under quality music for the people. Fight For Us!!
