MEL the Angry Native is a CHamoru lyricist from the island of Guam. Raised on 90’s hip hop, MEL’s flow is straightforward and hard-hitting, portraying the realities of life in an unincorporated territory. An educator by trade, MEL uses hip hop and poetry as a tool for empowerment and liberation. Growing up in a colonized Pacific Island, with BoomBap on rotation, MEL has a story worth hearing.
