Mecca (musician)

Keen Cotter better known by his stage name Mecca or Young Mecca, is a St. Lucian Hip Hop artist and songwriter. Growing up on the island, he was one of the brave to defy norms and to move towards a more urban musical art form despite the dominance of other genres like Soca and Calypso. Part of his early popularity arose from his performances at stage shows opening for regional and international acts.

Early life and career beginnings

Mecca was born Keen Cotter on July 22, 1983. He grew up in the southern fishing village of Laborie, St. Lucia and While in secondary school, Mecca began to pursue a music career. He started off by performing dancehall tracks by Red Rat and then moved on to hip hop tracks by Puff Daddy, Mase and Biggie Smalls. He was invited to perform alongside toasting champion Dj Grinch and this led to a healthy songwriting relationship for a few years. Mecca's first original single and release was "Punk Daddy" in 1998.

2001-02: Riddim Rydez

Teaming up with fellow Laborian artist Shepp Dawg, the duo formed Rhymaz Inc and released two mixtapes within six months - Riddim Rydez Vol. 1 & 2. These mixtapes allowed for Mecca and Shepp to open for Elephant Man, Wayne Marshall, Kyprich and Assassin.

    by: UNLV

    Verse one: {lil' ya}
    Twenty seven twelve that's where I dwell
    But you had to have heart to be down
    From the start 'cause a nigga didn't play
    That hoe shit if you got jacked you had to
    Strap and that's a rap bitch
    'cause gee's are gee's and youngsters are hustlers
    You come up in the third bein' a buster
    'cause if the capital ya found out about you nigga
    I have to take yours to make mine bigger
    And you can go get yo boys and they better come correct
    'cause I got k's and I'm a put yo ass in check
    You like a pussy cat comin' up in the wood
    Try'na survive in my motherfuckin' hood
    Chorus: {bridge/lil' ya & yella boy}
    {lil' ya}
    It's the mac from the motherfuckin' hood y'all

    Of these bitches playin' with me
    I'm from the three you better respect unlv
    Verse two: {yella boy}
    Daddy used to laugh till I bought the park fast
    Started off with opportunities I achieved real fast
    At the park ain't no joke I started movin' quarters
    Like a baller people watchin' it's my dog
    So he ain't callin' I'm bout puffin' as i
    Choke to the chronic smoke
    You see me comin' you hear the music
    Joggers walkin' by I'm still drivin' twenty-four seven
    Around the fuckin' block my nigga
    Lil' ya spittin' game at you dog hoes
    Fuck what you wearin' don't trip of them dog hoes
    Them boys at mac he down with them so it's all good
    I'm with tec-9 we be with mac's up to no good
    Chorus: {2x}
    Verse three: {lil' ya}
    It's the mac and I'm back on solo tip
    I never fell in love and I never got pussy broke
    Pimpin' up on bitches on my block
    From my hood and kept up the keys
    You know I'm doin' good started workin' with
    Twenty's now I flipped it to a half
    Now I'm a quarter bird you bitches can't laugh
    So give me credit and stop try'na playa hate
    Gettin' jealous never talk about me in my face
    Talkin' behind my back I'm a fuck you
    Bitches up real good 'cause I'm a fool from the three
    The mac fat from the motherfuckin' hood
