Ohioian-turned-NYer and lawyer-turned-rapper Mekka Don drops his latest single “They All Come Down” on iTunes. Check the vid below, and if you dig, drop $.99 so dude can pay back his law school loans!
["They All Come Down"] explores the rise of all stars and their inevitable fall. With the rise and fall of the Bernie Madoffs and Plaxico Burress’ of the world, and recent convictions of rappers Lil Wayne, TI, and Lil’ Boosie, the song could not have been more timely. Although some of these “falls” are tragic – ala Michael Jackson and Steve McNair – the truth still remains the same – “They All Come Down.”
The song is complemented by a powerful video produced by Humungoid Films. Jared Zwerling plays the role of celebrity-living the good life. The video debuted at “The Undaground Railroad” showcase at Taj presented by The Source Magazine and Tyku to rave reviews. A crowd member was quoted as saying “This is a very sad but true song. The video is perfect and every line he said was the truth. We need more music like this.” DJ Mick Boogie previewed the song and immediately felt compelled to post in on his website. Mick said, “the song is very soulful and bluesy. It has a message. It reminds me of some old UGK music but is slightly more mellow. It’s a winner.”
