Let the Drums Talk
I am Oso Melodic, an instrumental hip-hop, chill-hop, and downtempo side of Bear Cole. I create and produce beat music that helps you find focus, pursue an idea, or lose track of why you went to the kitchen.
Pocket, Melody and Texture
Production of my music is influenced by hip-hop production, soul music, electronic experimentalism and the creative spirit of the American Southwest. I enjoy creating grooves with room to breathe and little details that make it worth listening again. My music can help you get through your day or be something you pause to listen to. You may wish to try the playful bounce of Macaroni, the deep pocket of Dollar Fiends and the ever-changing energy of Beast in the Flesh. Instrumental does not have to mean boring.
Where Oso Melodic Fits In 1st Drop Music
Oso Melodic is one of my artist identities under 1st Drop Music. I have given this portion of my musical output its own space to explore beats, moods and textures. My other identities will go off in their own directions.
