Brooklyn based King Jul is offering up his new mix tape ‘Your Highness,’ as a free download via bandcamp or right down below.

During a recent listening party it seemed like a majority of the attendees had the same feeling, which was, King Jul is a breath of fresh air in the hip-hop world. While his music does have a classic swagger about it, he also plays with alternative styles (check out, “Starry Eyed”).
