86LEO is an independent hip-hop artist crafting emotionally raw, introspective music rooted in real-life struggle and personal evolution. Formerly performing under the name Leo Melly, the transition to 86LEO represents a hard reset—cutting ties with the past and embracing accountability, growth, and self-definition.

His music consists of high-energetic rapid, technical flows paired with melodic moments, 86LEO delivers deeply personal lyrics about mental health struggles, isolation, loyalty, and the relentless grind of self-improvement. His sound is dark, emotional, and unapologetically honest, drawing listeners into real experiences rather than polished narratives.

With projects like DUST, 86LEO continues building a raw, DIY catalog focused on authenticity over trends, aiming to connect with listeners who find strength in truth and growth through adversity.
