Man, this feels good. I got into my gmail this evening and saw an email there from dailytunez.com saying that info 'bout me and my new single has been posted on the site. It's not a St. Lucian site and has many visitors from across the U.S and the world passing through each day, checking out new music and videos. I am exposed to more people now through dailytunez.com and I just thought it to be appropriate to let you guys know what's up. SEE FOR YOURSELVES or, CLICK HERE to see a pic I saved after seeing the posting on the site. Thanks to the peeps at dailytunez.com, your support is very much appreciated.

What's up everyone? I promised that you would be hearing from me more often, and, here I am already keeping my word, for it hasn't even been a week yet and here is another update on me. As you know I am getting ready to release never enough on air on Monday October 13th, and in keeping with this, today's "Mirror" newspaper (Friday October 10th, 2008) has printed an article on your boy. It talks a little about the track and about me and more. So check out the article below or CLICK HERE to see the actual document:

Fresh off the success of "Never Enough" is another hard hitting motivational hip-hop track called "My Favourite Things", Young Mecca's new single for 2008.

As the title suggests, the track does communicate Mecca's favourite things but not in the manner that most would imagine. Instead of rapping about cars and clothes and money and jewellery and girls, Young Mecca touches on other matters and focuses on the hustle and struggles rather than the fancy and extravagant things in life. It speaks of turning "reality to fantasy" in the sense that one has to create the life that one imagines. The good life the way it is dreamed.

When asked about the reason for the direction of the song Mecca replied:

"I make hustle music. I hustle in life just like many people do, and I hustle in this industry too. I love it when people overcome their struggles and make a name for themselves; that's one of my favourite things. I like it when folks stand up against injustice and abusive authority; another favourite of mine. I like it when people dream dreams and work towards them. Those are the reasons for the direction of this track. And also I just wanted to get creative with it. Do something they didn't expect".

This catchy and meaningful song is written by Keen "Young Mecca" Cotter and Sherwinn "Dupes" Brice, who also produced. It contains a sample from the Sound Of Music's "Favourite Things" performed by Julie Andrews which only adds to the ambience of the song.

"'My Favourite Things' was written and recorded at a time when the police were getting away with a lot of stuff and government officials were not delivering as they promised. Both issues still exist today. Therefore it can clearly be seen that the music already is timeless," Mecca said.

In the first verse of the song Mecca states his cause. He lets listeners know about him up front within the first two lines –"I'm just try'na live my life man, get in the booth and rhyme man/get out the streets and travel for the weekend" - a dream shared by many people. The second verse deals with the wrongs done by the enforcers of our judicial system while the third touches on the political leaders. Dupes is featured on the hook and sings words many could relate to.

All in all, Young Mecca has beautifully constructed a track over an emotional instrumentation with a hook that fans will love and enjoy. They could sing along to lyrics that speak meaningfully to those who feel like Mecca does.

"My Favourite Things" releases on radio stations island-wide on Monday. It will be distributed and marketed by Young Mecca's newly established company - PRESIDENTIAL MEDIA, in conjunction with the highly acclaimed and award winning House Of Wax.

Hey y'all, it's been a while since I hit you guys up with some news about me and I apologize for that. Don't for one minute entertain the thought that I forgot about you because I have not. In fact, it is because you guys were and continue to be on my mind that I have not posted any new entries lately; wanted to have everything in proper order before I started yapping. But after all the meetings, studio sessions, long trips and sweat, here I am finally to let you know what's up. It's been a busy past few months for me because I've been in the studio working on new material with other artists as well as my own projects. So look out for new releases and collaborations coming soon.

Keeping me busy outside the studio is my internet portfolio. In addition to MYSPACE, HI5 and MECCAMUSIC.NET is my new IMEEM account. I have created a profile there so, if you have an account or access to an account you can connect with me at imeem.com/meccamusic. Even if you don't have an imeem account you can still visit my profile page and share your thoughts and music and all that good stuff. So be sure to check it out.

Another thing yours truly have been working tirelessly to see come into fruition is PRESIDENTIAL MEDIA. The launch is coming real soon. More details will be made available to you as soon as things are more concrete. Just sit tight and keep your eyes and ears open.

Before I go I just want to thank all my fans for the support and love you have given to "Never Enough" on the radio. Since its release it has been doing good and I thank you all for the support. Keep calling and requesting it on your favourite radio stations. Expect more from me before the year ends. Peace.
