Amp Melo x Chubby Wallets – Drowning [Single]

Amp Melo and the Chubby Wallets production duo hit a heavy groove with “Drowning,” their latest cut. From the jump, the funk is undeniable—Chubby Wallets (DJ Phonic & Adam Walter) lay down a tight, funky beat with that bubbling bassline and smooth keys that immediately get your head nodding. Melo rides the beat effortlessly, balancing sharp storytelling with his signature wordplay, all while unpacking some weighty themes.

Amp isn’t just talking addiction in the literal sense—he’s breaking down how people chase fame, success, and validation, all while losing themselves in the process. He starts off with a story about a woman trapped in her own self-destruction: “I reminisce about the days where she used to be addicted / Hella uptight, she be boa-constricted,” showing how addiction doesn’t just hold you back, it wraps itself around you until you can’t breathe. From there, he shifts to a dude who’s stuck in the spiral of social media, desperate for likes and validation but sinking in the process.

Lyrically, Melo’s sharp, flipping between blunt observations and introspective bars that really hit. His flow is punchy, clear, and precise, keeping you locked in, while the funk groove keeps everything vibing. And just when you think you’ve settled into the rhythm, that wah-wah guitar sneaks in, giving the track even more depth.

Amp Melo switches from introspective to real blunt, and it’s dope how he balances storytelling with hard-hitting truths. The verses snap, while the chorus takes a sing-songy route that’s catchy without being cheesy. “Drowning” works on a lot of levels—both musically and lyrically—and shows how easy it is to sink when you’re chasing the wrong things.
