MeRCY step’s inside the ring with 2023 and delivers his first project of the new year with Iron Mike. The Florida native returns to the pages of Be Known throwing some perfect combinations of versus and dope production, showing off his inner Mike Tyson.
Weighing in at a solid 6 tracks, Iron Mike features Chief Tony and ListentoSIN on the hard hitting track “Heavyweights” which showcases each artists ability to go toe to toe with the Gold Haze produced banger. The EP also sees JQ featured on “Fighting Demons” as he is able to deliver a solid chorus which you can even consider somewhat of a verse as well. MeRCY comes in at the 47 second mark finding himself face to face with his demons but ready to be triumphant and come out on top, which he does stating “Went toe to toe with the devil/payed for my sins never settled/dudes praying on my downfall/but I’m on a whole never level”.
Along with the release of the EP, MeRCY uploads the official music video to “Undisputed“, the opening track of the project. The whole video is primarily animated which is something you don’t really see much of now a days. The animation is done by the talented Bryam Bryam, who is able to combine both animations and popular moments from Mike Tyson’s life all into one full course meal that is the visual for “Undisputed“.
Iron Mike showcases MeRCY’s ability to tangle with whatever life throws at him, KO’ing every beat he chose to go to battle with, and doing so with confidence and ease. It’s as if Mike Tyson is in his corner helping him game plan and helping him execute it flawlessly through 12 rounds over production from Gold Haze, Buckroll, Track Pros and frequent collaborator, Solidified. In his own words MeRCY says “Whether it’s God, my Father passing, or my people by my side, I make “Iron Mike” a real and righteous place. When my life is against the ropes, MeRCY puts up a good fight”.
