King Mez - Milky Cereal
Artist: King Mez
Featuring: Silent Knight
Producer: Jim B
Album: KevinNottingham.com Presents: Mama Said Knock You Out
Label: Unsigned
Ready to feel old my fellow ‘80s babies? Incredibly, it’s been twenty years since LL Cool J dropped him seminal album Mama Said Knock You Out (that’s one tough Mama), and to celebrate the good folks over at kevinnottingham.com have been remixing every track from that seminal work. Our second featured track from the project, the first was Black Sunn & 810’s Mr. Good Bar, finds everyone’s favorite North Carolinian Paraplegic King Mez, along with (relative) newcomers Silent Knight and Cise Star, updating James Todd Smith’s Milky Cereal for the new millennium. As producer Jim B takes the original boom-bap production and smooths it out significantly, adding strings and a melodic bass line, lyrically Mez, Silent and Cise drop LL’s “cereal = women” concept in favor of a new school inspirational anthem. It may not be as good as the original (when is it ever?), but this Milky Cereal’s plenty delicious and nutritious in its own right. Mama Said Knock You Out (Remix Project) drops August 26, via, of course, kevinnottingham.com. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a hot date with some Frosted Flakes.

This is nice right here. Smooth production but got that head noddin beat in the background. Props to Jim B. But all three emcees bring it and flow well over the beat. Solid track by Mez.

The concept for the tape and the execution here are both great. Shouts out to Kevin Nottingham for the great idea and the terrific job scouting talent who could emulate some LL Cool J classics.

I'm digging the softer, smoother production on this track; the beat at least is hands down better than the original (sorry LL). This song's chill, laid-back vibe, and light subject matter make it a good fit for my morning playlist.

King Mez can do no wrong. Big fan of the original, but IMO these guys killed it. Lyrics were consistently dope, all the way from start to end. Something tells me that this new remix project is gonna be crazy.
