Medhane-Alam Olushola (born 1997), simply known as Medhane, is an American rapper and producer from Brooklyn, New York. Raised in the heart of Brooklyn, between his mother’s home in Bed-Stuy and his father’s in Prospect Heights, he grew up around reggae, soul, and hip hop. He started rapping when he was a senior in high school, using the stage name Donny Oh and releasing the EP Stuffed Shells in 2013. In 2014 he changed his stage name to Medhane and met producer Slauson Malone, with whom he formed the group Medslaus. They released their debut mixtape, Greys In Yellow, the following year. Around that time the duo met New York rapper MIKE and affiliated to his loose hip-hop collective [slums]. In 2017 Medhane released his debut solo mixtape, DO FOR SELF. He studied Civil Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and graduated 2019. The following year, he released his debut album, Cold Water. In 2020, Medhane was accused of sexual assault by a former partner. The Brooklyn rapper has admitted to “problematic” and “emotionally abusive” behavior, but not sexual assault. This resulted in MIKE and Slauson Malone cutting ties with him and the latter removed his verse from “11/28/55, Ttrabul (see page 42).”
