Spooky season might be over as we now find ourselves in the month of November, but Florida’s MeRCY decides to keep the scary hours alive as he at last brings his Michael Myers EP to life. 8 tracks is the official count for how many times the artist found himself standing over the production, leaving no life behind as he goes on a spree of killing beats. What’s even scarier is the fact that MeRCY brings only one feature to the table with the Jug The Illest assisted “Smith’s Grove Sanitarium”, going solo and having no problem committing the crimes alone on 7 of the 8 songs.
The artist continues to build his “Michael” catalog of releases with the second installment of the series as he previously dropped the EP Iron Mike back in January. Now MeRCY strikes again but this time with no gloves over his hands, only with a mask over his face as he takes on the persona of Michael Myers. You’ll find yourself encaptivated for 22 minutes while MeRCY delivers deadly blows of lyricism over the dark and grimy sounds provided by Slimrock, Homage, Flowers In Narnia, JQ Mr. 54, Kubo and Livin’. Standouts from the EP include “Scary Hours”, “Death Note” and “Myers Theme” but don’t get it twisted, the entire project will leave you in awe of how well it was put together. Everyone who had a hand in creating the horror themed EP should feel great about their involvement, they knew the task and didn’t fall short of going in for the kill. Whether he is going round for round in the ring or slicing and dicing up his foe, MeRCY is now two for two with his “Michael” themed projects.
If the EP wasn’t enough for his fans to indulge in, Merc’ also gives the greenlight on the release of the visual for track 3 “Scary Hours“. Directed by Ike Anyanwu, the black and white video brings those scary hours in Broward to life as MeRCY comes face to face with the Michael Myers persona in the thriller visual.
