“Do me a favour and don’t do me no favours.” After dropping a lyric video last week for a dope collaboration with Swisha T (“Coming Back Now”), Surrey rapper Merkules has released his first official music video of 2024.
The video for the new C-Lance-produced single, “No Favours” was directed by Dylan Cross (aka @DirectedByShitShow). It follows Merk’s video for “Good Kid” which is quickly closing in on 500K views on YouTube, and also performing well on DPSs.
You can find “No Favours” on Spotify, and various other digital streaming platforms.
Just recently, Merk was featured on the new Quake Matthews single, “Let The Boy Die.” On the song, he reminisces about his come up, and pays tribute to the late great Pat Stay.

About Merkules
Starting with 2012’s Canadian Bacon LP and Bacon Bits EP, Merkules has become one of rap’s most prolific artists, releasing LPs, EPs, singles, and videos at a remarkable pace. The title track to his 2015 LP Scars details a vicious, life-alterting attack he suffered at 16 while walking home from a New Year’s Eve party. That song was among the ones that showed another side of Merkules, one where he was vulnerable, emotional, and willing to explore the deepest and darkest part of his life and his emotions.
By the time Merkules got to 2017’s Trust Your Gut and songs such as “Way Down” and 2018’s Cole, with songs such as “Work,” “On My Own,” and “Moment,” he had evolved into an often introspective rapper who accented his work by singing, bearing his soul, and examining his mental health. He also did it on songs such as “Heart Of My Sleeve,” which he released in between projects.
