Dez Mensa is living proof X Factor isn't the be-all and end-all.

You may recognise R&B singer/songwriter Dez Mensa when he appeared on The X Factor as part of The Risk in 2011 but, as his new single "Way Too Drunk" proves, he's got so much more to offer. The original version, due out Dec. 18, was a super-sweet and incredibly catchy piece of R&B but this CJ iDJ remix flips it into a rock-solid banger backed up with some gritty breaks and a nifty bass line for added pace. The X Factor's often maligned for cursing artists, but from what we can see, Dez Mensa sits in defiant opposition to that rule.
