Merkules set his sights at the top of the rap game when he was only 12 years old, when his father took him to the mall to see iconic Canadian rappers Swollen Members, Sweatshop Union, and Saukrates perform.
“I saw what was going on on stage and that was actually a pivotal moment in my career,” he shared on his website. “I remember seeing them all playing and being like, ‘You know what? That’s what I want to do. Forget whatever else I had in mind for a career. This is what I want to do.”

The hard work for “Merk Mitz” has paid off as he is now a Monster energy drink-sponsored, platinum-selling artist. Merkules has also collaborated with a number of other top rap and hip-hop stars including Kevin Gates, The Game, E-40, Tech N9ne, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Twista, DMX, and much more.
Merkules has reached number one on Billboard’s Rising Artists Chart and is a two-time Western Canadian Music Award nominee. His last five albums went #1 on the iTunes hip-hop charts.
The Apply Pressure rapper has performed more than 500 shows in North America, Europe, and Australia, and has sold out headline tours across the United States. And luckily for fans, Merkules is not planning on slowing down.
