If you have somehow missed our posts about King Mez’s singles and our coverage of his show in Raleigh, N.C., then let me try to break this down for you real quick: King Mez is a problem, and his new album My Everlasting Zeal is what happens when a knowledgeable spitter swallows the truth serum and drops unleashes the Greg Focker truth on you. After creating a buzz with his 2011 The King’s Khrysis EP, Mez has cemented himself as a leader in the burgeoning North Carolina hip hop scene with the new album, and with a viciously-lyrical style, will continue to emerge on a much larger scale.
Mez took a break from the hardwood to talk about working with J. Cole, what current rappers he model’s his career after, and whether or not he’ll take the plunge into A&R-ville.
