Merkules
Merkules is a platinum-selling and award-winning Canadian hip-hop artist from Surrey, British Columbia. A Monster Energy-sponsored artist, he has amassed billions of streams and views with his signature “hangover-rap” style. His collaborators read like a who’s who of hip-hop — Jelly Roll, Kevin Gates, The Game, Benny the Butcher, Tech N9ne, DMX, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and many more. In 2024, he supported Snoop Dogg on the “Cali to Canada” tour and opened for Ice Cube.
With over 1 billion views on multiple YouTube videos, five consecutive #1 iTunes hip-hop albums, and a Platinum-certified single (“Gon Die ft. Stevie Ross”), Merkules has ranked #1 on Billboard’s Rising Artists Chart. His music appeared in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, and he was featured on Dr. Phil in 2020. Currently recording a new album for Death Row Records, Merkules continues to push boundaries while championing mental health in his lyrics.
