King Mez most definitely murders this beat, which is a stand-out, albeit short, cut from his new album-quality mixtape Long Live The King. The Raleigh, NC native came through yesterday with the project, and it's definitely one to take notice of if you're in need of some new (free) ish for your iTunes catalogue.
This really only serves as a taste of the full project, as the hard-hitting beat clocks in at a 1:19. Nonetheless, it does the job (we hope) of peaking your interest for the rest of the album. If it's done the job, head here.
What are your thoughts on Mez?
Quotable Lyrics
Your manager know you dumb
They sending money e-mails, you never get cc'd
Like closed captions in signs, hold up
Your probably called him up, examining things
When you call him and quote my line to him
He ain't sounding the same
It could be worse, you could be me as kid
With fire inside, wanting to kill pops for beating mom
Almost drowned in them flames, all good
Found some intellect so profound in the pain I welcomed it
Turned my umbrella upside down to the rain
