Here’s another leak off the Paraplegics album that’ll be dropping in March. Stay Tuned!

Listen & Rate: King Mez ft. Tab-One & Charlie Smarts of Kooley High – So Long

If you’ve listened to King Mez’s Winter EP, pretty much everybody’s favorite is the self titled track “Winter”. The production on it is what really captures the attention, which is produced by Harvard. Harvard samples the hook with the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s “Heads will Roll” bit. And of course Mez’s delivery is on point, with a slow flow strike that’ll make you understand every word he spits out. So, if you haven’t given this gifted 19 year old a listen just yet, peep the DJBooth.net link below and get familiar with the future of Raleigh, NC, and rate the track!

If you ain’t familiar then get familiar with Raleigh, NC’s own King Mez. Just like with J. Cole, I feel confident enough with Mez putting North Carolina on the map also. Peep the first lead off single featuring one of 9th Wonder’s artist, Thee Tom Hardy, called “Nowhere to Go”. This will be from The Paraplegics album, which will all be produced by Commissioner Gordon. Support NC Hip Hop!

The punchline/battle king is back…and he sounds super hungry. I think this Havoc beat will probably go down in hip-hop history as the best of all time. At least top 5! What ya’ll think?
