The most unique MC in the 100k battle made it look easy. although Mygrane didnt win the tournament, he won the respect of those that had a chance to see the cypher
The o-zone lyricist is the definition of real hip hop. unique delivery, sophistacted wordplay and he refuses to sell out.
over the past decade mygrane 5k has solidified himself as a lyrical bully, in the booth and the battle rap circuit carving himself into the Mount Rushmore of o-zone emcess
Now after years training for evolution, the revolution is here and my grain 5k is over here now, ready to lead the rebellion.
melodic playground is doing it’s part... donating a portion of our proceeds to relaunch the Mutant Emcee initative, making sure mygrane and his fellow mutant gets the spotlight they deserve.
Be on the lookout, Early next year we will release our brand new 2026 Mutant collaboration.
There are moments in life when God speaks loud, and moments when He speaks soft — and sometimes, He speaks through music. Not by accident, not by coincidence, but with precision. With timing. With intention.
Michael B. Kirksey’s new single, “God Has a Plan For Your Life,” didn’t just enter Melodic Playground Radio’s rotation — it entered my spirit at the exact moment I needed it. And I don’t say that lightly.
Running Melodic Playground has taught me many things, but perhaps the most humbling lesson is this: I’m not curating the music — God is.
I’m just blessed to be the vessel who presses play.
I always tell people, “The music that plays here isn’t random. It becomes part of my life.”
This song is living proof of that.
This song reminded me why we keep going, even when the path feels long: God doesn’t guide halfway. He calls, and then He carries.
“You’re not lost. You're not late. You're not forgotten. Keep moving — I placed you here on purpose.”
Sometimes reassurance doesn’t come from sermons or speeches — it comes through a voice and a melody that hits exactly where words alone can't reach.
We’re living in a time where people smile with tired eyes.
Where strength is worn quietly.
Where many fight battles nobody sees.
And more than ever, humanity needs music that doesn’t just entertain — it heals.
Music that lifts the weary instead of distracting them.
Music that speaks to the soul instead of just the moment.
That’s what this song does.
In a world filled with noise, here comes a song full of truth.
And truth hits different.
There are artists who make songs, and there are artists who deliver messages.
Michael didn’t write this track to impress anyone — he wrote it to reach someone.
And today, that someone was me.
It reminded me why Melodic Playground exists in the first place:
Not to chase trends, not to mirror the mainstream, but to showcase music that means something.
Music that breathes.
Music that lifts.
Music that finds you when you need it most.
We don’t just play songs here — we play assignments.
And sometimes, they arrive right on schedule without us realizing we were waiting for them.
“God Has a Plan For Your Life” is more than a single — it’s a reminder that God sees the vision, the effort, the sacrifice, and the heart. Even when life feels like an uphill walk, He is aligning every step.
So when this song landed, and the emotion hit, it became clear:
We are right where God wants us.
He is working for us all.
And His timing is never late.
Today, my spirit needed this record.
Tomorrow, someone else will need it too.
And that’s why it’s here.
To be honest I have been looking for a band like Guy Snowdon & The Citizens— Melodic Playground is a variety Station, kind of like 99.1 Kggi, ( the station i grew up on ) which means having a delicate balance of all genres is really important to me but I can't take all the credit fro finding this amazing sound. I was buried in submissions, half-tuned out, chasing that next spark to keep the station alive. Then suddenly,I came across a email from KJ and Young Outlaw Music... she sent me a song that cut through the static and grabbed my attention. That was “One.” Then “Take What You Want.”
The second I heard them, I knew these tracks weren’t just strong — they were alive. Honest rock ’n’ roll that doesn’t feel programmed or polished to death. Just real instruments, real emotion, and real energy. The kind of sound that makes you turn up the volume instead of skipping to the next track.
Guy Snowdon, born in Birmingham, UK, brought that British rock soul across the Atlantic and planted it right in Cleveland, Ohio — a city that knows a thing or two about grit. Together with The Citizens, he built a sound that bridges two musical worlds: the melodic elegance of his homeland and the raw working-class heartbeat of the American Midwest. That combination hits deep. You can hear Queen, The Beatles, Cream — but you can also hear the rust, the sweat, the truth.
The band first came together in 2019 and made their debut at a John Lennon Tribute show at the Beachland Ballroom. You can tell from that start that they value the roots of rock. They followed up with early singles “Hammer Falls” and “Runaway,” setting a tone for what would become their signature sound — passionate, cinematic, and unfiltered. Then came the 2022 full-length album One, a statement record that proved their vision had legs. And when they released their live Detroit album in 2025, capturing the chaos and chemistry of their stage presence, I knew I wasn’t listening to a studio project — I was hearing a real band doing what real bands do: playing their hearts out.
Now, that same energy lives inside Melodic Playground Radio. We officially welcomed “One” and “Take What You Want” into our daily rotation, and I couldn’t be prouder. Those songs slide perfectly into our afternoon block, Rocky Roads, giving the show that extra voltage it needed. It’s the kind of music that makes the drive home feel cinematic — roaring guitars, honest vocals, and that undeniable groove that makes you forget whatever you were stressing about five minutes ago.
But here’s where it gets even more special: Guy Snowdon & The Citizens aren’t just joining the rotation — they’re stepping into something bigger. We’ve added them to our exclusive Young Outlaw Showdown, a segment we created to spotlight artists tied to Young Outlaw Music, one of the most authentic and fearless record labels out there right now. Young Outlaw isn’t about algorithms or fake hype. It’s about community — artists helping artists, creatives who stand for something real.
And Guy fits that mold perfectly. His band doesn’t chase attention; they earn it. Every chord, every lyric, every show — it all comes from the same place: love for the craft. That’s what connects them to us. Melodic Playground and Young Outlaw Music share the same bloodline — we’re both built by people who believe in independent art.
As an indie music activist, I live for this. I live for the bands that show up without ego and remind me why I started this journey — to make sure great music never gets buried by the noise. When I find artists like Guy Snowdon & The Citizens, it’s not just an addition to the playlist — it’s a reminder that rock still breathes, that passion still matters, and that the fight for real music is still worth it.
So here’s my message to anyone who still believes in guitars, truth, and fire:
Tune in to Melodic Playground Radio. Catch “One” and “Take What You Want” during Rocky Roads and the Young Outlaw Showdown. This is proof that rock still has a pulse.
And if you listen close enough, you’ll hear it beating right alongside us.
