Mello-D & The Rados 'Cool Witchu' Video Clip Airwaves

WHASINGTON, DC (Thermite Records) - Introducing the highly anticipated arrival of MELLO-D & THE RADOS, a hot and fresh Hiphop band based out of the Washington D.C. /V.A. area! Representing the future of Hiphop, this stellar band delivers live instrumentation, dope lyrics, clear messages and a vivid display of talent with heavy comparisons to THE ROOTS. In the 8 years that the band has been touring they have gotten a lot of national and international attention. Now on their 3rd album release, Anititainment, MELLO-D & THE RADOS are officially in effect with the release of their brand new single and video, "Cool Witchu" currently on rotation on BET RAP CITY with an even more recent addition on MTV2 on Demand.

"Cool Witchu" has dominated college radio for 8 weeks straight, peaking at #3 on national radio charts and the video can also be seen on MTV Brazil as well as other indie video outlets across the country. The video clip brings forth a humorous, and yet positive message with no bling, violence, and misogyny in the clip. "Cool Witchu" is a throwback to the days when the Native Tongues (De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Queen Latifah) ruled the airwaves and video outlets.

Darnley Mello-Dâ Hodge has graced the stage with such popular artists such as Jill Scott, KRS-ONE, Cocoa Brovas, Organized Konfusion, and he has played with jazz legends like Charlie Hampton, Herb Smith, Barry Harris, George Coleman and Clark Terry. He says, â?œMello-D & the Rados is here to let these kids know that you can find a direction in life, be talented, positive and financially successful...without selling out and perpetuating negative stereotypes and yet, still be respected in the streets.

The new album, Antitainment is already getting a great response in the U.S. and overseas. Mello-D & the Rados recently completed a successful tour in England and two tours in Brazil.

Our music is relevant music therefore it will never go out of style and yet it aims to appeal to the consciousness and humor of the listener without being silly, preachy or redundant. You can listen to "Cool Witchu" 100 years from now and the message will still be relevant... this is what Mello-D & the Rados is about.
