For his final release of 2023, MeRCY delivers a powerful video/song with ‘Dad’s Drawing Pad’, dedicated to his father who passed away a few years back. Jimmy Nguyen puts together a scrapbook like visual filled with nothing but good memories as its simple ness really pays homage to the late Anthony Hall.

MeRCY says, “This is probably the most important and most personal record I ever wrote” as he crafts the song together perfectly choosing some beautiful production from Lebanon Don to be the backbone of the track, while P. Hall is featured on the chorus. The artist takes you on a journey of emotions as he describes the type of man his father was and the relationship they both had with one another. He credits his father for introducing him to many things saying “My dad was a huge influence in my life and my relationship with the higher power. He possessed so much knowledge with his views and perspectives in life, art and music. It’s almost as if he was a prophet to me”.

In the words of the late Mac Miller, “music is a beautiful thing”, and what MeRCY chose to do with this record was beautiful and powerful as he uses his talent to show off the wonderful human being his father was. ‘Dad’s Drawing Pad’ will be featured on the album ‘Michaelangelo’ set to release in 2024.

Arlo Maverick probes materialism in video for track, ‘Retail Therapy’

Canada’s hip-hop artist ARLO MAVERICK shared his astute perspective on working-class struggles last month with the release of his album, ‘Blue Collar’. Now he’s unveiling a new video for his track, ‘Retail Therapy,’ which probes the artist’s complicated relationship with money and materialism, and offers a suitable soundtrack to Black Friday remorse.

Over hard-edged UK drill-inspired beats and name-checks to Central Cee, the track captures the anxiety and impulsivity of consumption without the means, and the acquisition of material things as a form of social currency.

Alongside the track, is a dance-fueled video that Maverick says, “flaunts flyness and gives UK drill an Alberta twist.” Directed by Natalie Meyer and shot at various Edmonton and Calgary train stations, the video features rhymes and moves from Mahk Milliano and cameos by Calgary rapper Tea Fannie, R&B artist Rome IX, Edmonton MC and clothing designer Lion Luciano, and video director Da Kid T.

In probing materialism as a means of status-chasing, Maverick reveals the superficiality and foolishness in it all: “Got a closet full of product/That I only wore once/If I’m honest there’s no logic/I just bought it just to stunt.”

With every amusing, scathing observation, Maverick holds up a mirror to many of today’s social ills. “In our society a lot of us wear our successes and seek validation with items we purchase,” he says. “We acquire things that we don’t need to feel a certain way; to appear successful or flaunt status. But we often find ourselves in debt and still unhappy.”
