Musical career
The Los Angeles Times stated: "Mez has dropped a few acclaimed mixtapes including his most recent, “Long Live the King,” but he’ll likely get a huge boost from his verses on Compton (album), which arrive during “Darkside/Gone,” “Satisfiction” and “Talk About It.” [4] Mez has also collaborated with fellow North Carolinians J. Cole, Rapsody, and Drique London, as well as producers 9th Wonder and Khrysis in the past."[5] Mez appeared on the song with Daniel Day on the Lecrae song "Lost My Way" on the Church Clothes 2 mixtape.[6][7] His first official co-sign from Dr. Dre came about during the airing of 'The Pharmacy' on Beats 1, via a freestyle Mez rapped over a beat produced by Cardiak, with Dr. Dre on the ad-libs.[8]
