Acclaimed Canadian rapper and Death Row Records affiliate Merkules, renowned for his raw lyricism, versatility and unmatched authenticity, makes a triumphant return with his highly-anticipated new album “Survivor’s Guilt.”
The 24-track project is packed with heavy-hitting collaborations, including Shaquille O’Neal, D12, Prof, DAX, Classified, Nhale, Afroman, Brotha Lynch Hung, X-Raided, October London, Evil Ebenezer, Chris Webby, B-Real, Ricky Hil and DizzyIsDead. With over 1 billion views across top-trending YouTube videos and multiple albums hitting #1 on the Canadian iTunes hip-hop charts, Merkules continues to expand his massive global following by blending gritty storytelling with explosive beats, bridging both underground and mainstream audiences.
“It’s been 5 entire years since I’ve given you guys a body of work to listen to. During that time I had no choice but to reach as deep into my soul as possible and do some inside work, learn who I really am at the core so I can give you the best version of me, and new music that’s so undeniable it’s everything you need to make up for lost time.
“Behind the scenes I was trying to be as vulnerable as I could with my pen whilst compiling collabs with all your favourite artists, building an album more cohesive and important than anything I’ve ever put out before. Get ready for the old Merk you missed and a new version you’ll learn to understand. This one’s for us. My goal is to help people with this record. I want you to cry, laugh, smile, and bang your fuckin head so hard it hurts your neck. Welcome to Survivor’s Guilt. The wait is over,” declares Merkules.
