Mel Carter isn’t the best rapper in his own family. That doesn’t matter because if you had this man’s lineage, you wouldn’t be able to touch his uncle. The rapping nephew of Jay-Z drops off his new mixtape, Popular Stranger, features production mostly by his homies Maserati, Hunga, P. Carrera and J. Dot.

Mel Carter held his listening party for his mixtape last night at Quad Studios with a gathering of some close friends in Times Square. No appearance from his uncle last night, he was just a tad bit busy. Hit the jump to get a stream, listen and download to the kid’s new mixtape, Popular Stranger. Does he have what it takes to hang with Uncle Hov?
