About ZEUS.
Born in Madrid Spain and raised in Brownsville, Texas, Carlos Servando Cavazos, or “Carlton Zeus,” performs as ZEUS. El Mero Necio. A U.S. Air Force Veteran and Mexican-American hip hop artist, his delivery, and eclectic play on all things Tex-Mex has earned him a top spot among independent Texas musicians. ZEUS has been hailed as the Freddy Fender of hip hop and his independent release “Three Strikes You’re In,” and the famous “Necio Cumbia,” are South Texas anthems played across festivals, quinceñera’s, backyard barbecues, and border clubs alike.
“My partnership with Chris Perez and Blue Mariachi started with a bottle of reposado and got deep AF,” said ZEUS. “My dreams are outlandish and he gets it. Our vision is a mutual reminder of the journey he took to contribute to a legacy that will outlive us all.”
From brisket & beers with Country artist The Randy Rogers Band in New Braunfels to tequila toasts in Houston with rapper Mannie Fresh or backstage antics withJesse TurnerofSiggno, ZEUS embodies the intersection of Tejano, Country, and Hip Hop.
His upcoming project The United States of Tejas is inspired by ZEUS’s journey to reconnect with his roots in the Rio Grande Valley prior to his departure for U.S. military service. He takes us along to discover the sights, smells, and sounds of our rich musical heritage in Texas, while adding that touch of ZEUS along the way. Several tracks on the cumbia-infused and genre-bending album are being produced by multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning producer Happy Perez (Ariana Grande,The Weeknd,Miguel,Halsey,Juice WRLD,Lana Del Rey), El Dusty, Steveo Valdez (Maroon 5, Lil Wayne, MGK) and BlueMariachi’s Robert Gomez III with Chris Peréz on guitar.
Upon the album’s drop, a tour across the southwest will begin as new music videos, merchandise, and docuseries are released. Visit MeroNecio.com for more and find ZEUS. on all major music platforms.
