Durham based rapper Merczz is just 18-years-old and yet he’s already begun garnering the attention of music industry tastemakers. His debut track “DTB” picked up viral traction on TikTok amassing over 22 million streams independently, followed by “Hold On” that gained over a million streams in just three months leading to an international remix with Australian rapper DSP. Only beginning his musical journey in 2019, the young, but multifaceted talent has built an impressive fan base across social platforms and backing from BBC Introducing as a 2023 One To Watch. His Hardest Bars freestyle and appearance on the Hardest Bars North East cypher cemented Merczz as a serious one to watch as he sets pace to release his debut EP this year.
