King Mez - My Everlasting Zeal [Free Album]

If what King Mez has dropped so far from My Everlasting Zeal is any indication, you better not sleep on his new mixtape.

Before I sleep I'm just like yo, I invested thousands of dollars ,my love time and energy in this. It's a Free album. All we ask are clicks.
— King Mez (@KingMez) June 19, 2012

That's definitely not to much to ask for, especially when beats by Mez himself, J. Cole, and Commissioner Gordon command the project.

It's a Dreamvilian affair on Voli's new single "Sound Of Love" which shows off both his and J. Cole's abilities to produce and rap over an alternative-rock tinged track. I'd love to hear what else Voli's got in store on his new project The Wall.
