The North Carolina lyricist is back with a short tape possibly leaving us on a cliffhanger for something larger.

Raleigh, North Carolina rapper and wordsmith extraordinaire Mez has just come through with a new project called The Loading EP. The seven-song set runs just under 19 minutes long and has a pretty impressive feature list to boot. It is clear that Mez did not want this to be a thrown together offering. Him putting care into everything, including the guests, shows that he was not messing around.

Childish Major, Kurtis Wells, Isaiah Rashad, SAINt JHN, MAVI, and Leon Bridges were all called upon to deliver. Each guest certainly brings a different energy to each cut, helping to diversify the sounds. For Mez, this is his first solo project of any kind, despite being in the game since 2015. Most people might have heard of him through his contributions to Dr. Dre's last record, Compton.

Listen To The Loading EP By Mez

Even though this is a solid listen through and through, fans are definitely still awaiting an album. He definitely has the ability to carry the load in a longer format and we cannot wait for it. One song that we wanted to highlight is "Bat Phone." Fans have also been digging it, as it has quickly risen into his top five most popular tracks on Spotify. Part of the reason is the writing, but also the sample. If it sounds familiar, that is because Future and Metro Boomin used the same one on "Beat It" from WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU.
