Rapper Mercy add new favour in album ‘Ink Blots’

MeRCY has always released music that is backed by a theme, purpose or some type of message. His latest album comes in the form of a collaborative effort with producer FVNTVNV titled ‘Ink Blots’, and just like its predecessors, it too carries a purpose. So what’s that theme or purpose behind the album? Well, in his own words, MeRCY says that ‘Ink Blots’ is “an attempt to digitally induce musical psychology by convincing hip-hop fans to care about music with substance again”.

The South Florida lyricist began his mission with the lead single ‘Psycho Michael’ delivering compelling bars over the funky canvas like “life been a gamble checking out my parlays/you can go and party/that’s where we part ways/rather go the hard way/listen to what your heart say”. After the release of the single the scene was set for what ‘Ink Blots’ would end up sounding like for fans of both the rapper and producer.

The opening track ‘Lake Of A Thousand Tears’ stays on course with the single showing MeRCY flex his pen game with lines like “In a lake full of guppies and I was the lone shark/this is Mozart/with this beautiful music homie/and that’s where I show art”. Big Man G and Franco East also provide some help as features on the set of sounds as they lend their pen to the collaborative effort. “Can’t coach a king/ask Darvin Ham/couldn’t tell you ’bout him/I am not Shams/in the kitchen my Gordon Rams/play with the heat/they are not Bam” – Franco East on “Smokey’s Breakfast”.

The album weighs in at ten tracks and all provide a sound we aren’t used to hearing MeRCY tangle with, which even threw him for a loop when connecting with FVNTVNV. “He had a unique style of production which I gravitated towards easily. So working with him was a smooth transition” says MeRCY. Both artists had never worked with one another before so for fans to get a collaborative album only adds to the odd aura surrounding Ink Blots. “FVNTVNV informed me he’s a producer and engineer. I needed a song mixed which I sent him and then after he was sending me beats. It felt like it was meant to be, we were meant to collaborate and do some music” – MeRCY.

Along with the release of ‘Ink Blots’ comes the official video for track number six ‘Ocean Drive’. The visual was shot at the Hollywood Beach boardwalk in Fort Lauderdale, bringing some 80’s VHS vibes to accompany the official audio. It’s not Christmas yet but it does seem like it so go ahead and open your present and hit play on the new music from both Merc and FVNTVNV. Be sure to tap in with them on their social media accounts.

D’Shaun releases his second iTunes charting project with ‘7eventape’.

Texas rapper D’SHAUN, goes back to back as he releases his second itunes charting project. This time the Converse lyricist does so with his most vulnerable set of sounds to date, ‘7eventape’.

Finding his way through struggles in his personal life like the loss of his close friend, Rob G or 7, D’Shaun continueds to make his way into the booth. Putting pen to paper and his words towards the mic, the final outcome paid homage to 7 which included seven songs and featured the late Rob G on the cover as well. Ironically, the EP charted at its highest peak of 17. The bond between two brothers can’t be broken, even through death the bond D’Shaun & 7 shared was still stronger than ever.

D’Shaun says: “I felt like 7 was in the studio with me working on the tracks. I know these would’ve been songs he enjoyed thoroughly because he always liked when I got into my bag of introspection or storytelling”.

The EP takes you on a journey of mixed emotions, from the good to the bad & even indifferent memories. Many of those memories include 7 and that quickly becomes evident with the first few bars off of ‘Orange’: “I just left Houston out with my twin/remember Rob G used to pull up in the benz/this a treehouse we got sticks/Dev-G in NY like he played the Knicks”, the opening record from the project. Stand out tracks from the EP include ‘Lord.Hell.Mercy’ produced by D’Shaun x Leek OAM, ‘Innocent’ and ‘Red Supreme Sweater’ produced by Benji. EATVICTOR and Ro$eGold.wav also find their names within the credits of the project as both continue to build their catalog with the RYLTY team.

You’ll find D’Shaun accelerating through this new groove/path he found with ‘7eventape’, opening the doors to a new realm saying: “these songs were very different than anything I’ve put out in a long time. They are more vulnerable and there is more storytelling in them than what people are used to hearing from me”.

Even if these doors were only open for seven songs that run a total of 30 minutes and 32 seconds, the work ethic nor support from his fans never changed. Not only did the project gift the RYLTY leader another milestone of hitting the charts as an independent artist, ‘7eventape’ gifted his soul some type of relief knowing his brother for life, Rob G, would be proud of the man and artist D’Shaun continues to be.

Check out ‘7eventape’ below…

Song of the Day: I Was There – The Grand Cru

International award-winning songwriting team, THE GRAND CRU (comprising of Welsh and American talent) have shared a brand new album, entitled ‘September 11th – Music To Heal Your Soul’.

The Grand Cru includes ex Jesus Christ Superstar lead, Steve Balsamo (who’s written for Slash, Meatloaf, Cliff Richard) and ex member of The Story’s and Balsamo/Deighton. Also on ‘The Cru’ is multi-award winning Welsh singer/songwriter Darren Parry who’s a former UK Songwriting Contest winner, Billboard, Unisong, ISSA and USA Song Of The Year award winner (who’s co-written with The Korgis, Dan and Laura Curtis and others).

The third Welshman is Rhondda’s multi-talented Lee Gilbert who is an acclaimed singer /actor. His 25 yr career has spanned from Theatre, Radio and TV work which runs alongside his very busy music career. The fourth member and brainchild of ‘The Cru’ is Florida based Bonnie Skop, who’s family has a long history in music; including her Dad managing Ted Nugent and Bob Seger in their early days! The Grand Cru get their name from the French words… meaning “a wine of the most superior grade”. These songwriters are certainly that!

100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the album go to support the Enlisted Association Of The National Guard of The United States (EANGUS). EANGUS is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the status, welfare and professionalism of Enlisted members of the National Guard and has a constituency base of over 450,000 soldiers and airmen, their families, as well as over 350,000
retired members/veterans.

Darren says… “Steve, Lee, Bonnie and I have written the album predominantly on Zoom over the last two years or so having been approached by The National Guard via a contact of Bonnie’s in the US. We have donated six of our songs to the cause but have written bespoke songs including “I Was There””.

Steve says…‘I Was There’ is a very emotional song about the morning of 9/11 in New York. The song focuses on three different characters… one female character is going to work in New York that morning, another character is a guy taking a flight from New Jersey to San Francisco”. Lee continues… “the third character is a child who fortunately sleeps late so he’s not on time for school. You’ve gotta listen to it, it’s a real emotional rollercoaster of a song”!

‘I Was There’ was performed by The Cru for the EANGUS 9/11 Remembrance Gala at The One World Trade Centre building in New York on 11th September this year for a star-studded event, hosted by Kelsey Grammer (of hit show Frasier).

‘I Was There’ and ‘September 11th – Music To Heal Your Soul’ album are out now. Why not watch the video for the emotive single, featuring the three Welsh talent.
