King Melik Opens the Floodgates of Feeling with New EP Chamber of Emotions
Chicago-born artist King Melik has never been one to follow the rules—and with the release of his new EP Chamber of Emotions (out May 13th, 2025), he makes it clear: he’s not chasing a sound. He is the sound.
"This project isn't about finding a sound that defines me—my voice does that for me," Melik says. "It's about being open to whatever feels authentic in the moment."
And that authenticity is on full display. Classically trained and creatively fearless, King Melik weaves raw emotion, genre-defying production, and introspective lyricism to create a “visual sonic experience.”
What to Expect from Chamber of Emotions
The EP delivers seven tracks of thoughtful exploration, touching on self-discovery, relationship dynamics, growth, and vulnerability, without a single feature. While it's a solo effort, Melik hints at upcoming collabs with Kayo Southside, Morgan Gold, and T-Star Verse, building excitement for what’s next.
Standout Tracks:
"What Else" – A high-energy dive into a romantic pursuit, filled with emotional tension and magnetic flow.
"Up My Savage" – Smooth, confident, and melodic. Melik flexes his evolution and ambition with a charismatic edge.
Drawing influence from icons like Drake, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Erykah Badu, and even Yo-Yo Ma, King Melik blends classical roots with modern rap sensibilities. The result? A project that defies definition and hits with intention.
Why It Matters
With milestones like performing at Lollapalooza, winning TGF’s Project of the Year, and features in the Chicago Tribune, King Melik has already proven he's not just another rapper—he’s a rising force redefining what it means to be versatile.
Chamber of Emotions isn’t just an EP. It’s a statement: freedom in expression, beauty in imperfection, and power in embracing who you are—even when that changes.
