Merkules Australian tour support
Joining Merkules on his September Australia & New Zealand tour is an exciting lineup with plenty of live experience to enhance what will be an incredible night out for any hip-hop fan.
First up is West Australian rapper COMPLETE who is considered by many as one of, if not the best rapper rising in the Australian scene right now. Hard hitting lyrics mixed with wordplay on par to any MC in the game, COMPLETE, who was just breaking out last Merkules tour, is now well and truly established. Slewing a plethora of hits notably ‘Jordan’, he has seen millions of video views and grown his listener base to the hundreds of thousands worldwide. Hitting the stage right before Merkules, COMPLETE will ensure the stage is well and truly set for the main event.
Second, we have 5-Time Western Canadian Music Award nominated rapper Evil Ebenezer, whose songs and music videos have received over 20,000,000 video views & streams. With over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Evil’s songs has been added to multiple playlists curated by Spotify including National Playlists “Hip Hop Central’, “New Music Friday Canada” & “Northern Bars”. The Vancouver based rapper/singer has shared the stage with internationally recognized names such as A$AP Rocky, Tech N9ne, Raekwon, Yelawolf, House of Pain, Swollen Members, Onyx, De La Soul and many more.
Thirdly, rapper turned promoter Mastacraft makes his return to the live stage after a gruelling three year health battle that has left him hungry as ever, songs such as ‘Ease The Pain’, which garnered national radio play early in his career & saw him touring alongside Tech N9ne, Nelly, Obie Trice & more, have kept a fire in him with a point to prove since his infamous ‘FUP era & release. Using the years on the sidelines to help expand the international touring scene to both territories & give many local supporting artists opportunities, ‘Crafty’ has worked hard to re-establish himself & his music in a positive light with the help of mentor & collaborator ‘Madchild’. With Merkules co-sign he is set to debut new music, a new attitude & the trademark dreadlocks energizing the stage early on.
