Independent artist King Mez has released a new album titled Long Live The King. Mez took 10 months to craft this new release, challenging himself against his most recent release in his newly built in-house studio in his North Carolina stomping grounds.

The Raliegh native bares emotion within the bars delivered on production laid from the likes of illumined, Ishi and Mez himself. For those who will be in the North Carolina area, you can treat yourself by seeing him perform live on his birthday, April 19, at the CAM Art Museum. For those of you who are a little farther away the album is available for download or stream below.
