“Excuse me, flows just grow through me/like trees to branches, cliffs to avalanches/ It’s the praying mantis/ Deep like the mind of Farrakhan/ a motherfucking rap phenomenon.”

JON HOPE BIO:

Many critics suggest that “Hip-Hop is dead” due to the new artists’ lack of originality and substance. With everyone focused on ring tones and publicity rap beefs, one could only ‘hope’ for a change for the better. Look no further than lyrical savior, Jon Hope, whose inspiring words and delicate flow serve as food for thought to Hip-Hop fans alike. Jon Hope was born in Providence, Rhode Island, a city not known for its Hip-Hop scene. However, his skills have caught the eyes of many as he has been featured in some of the music industry’s most distinguished publications.

More on John Hope below, leave your thoughts on his tracks and check out his myspace.

New Artist Spotlight: Mercy

Mercy
Mercy718@gmail.com
Myspace: Showemnomercy

Mercy - Alright

Mercy - Triumph

Mercy - Freedom Of Speech

Mercy - Best Foot Forward

Mercy - Faded

You begged for it. You prayed for it. Here it is in the form of an emcee. His name is Mercy.
Mercy is one of the finest and brightest upcoming artist in Hip-Hop. This Brooklyn bred songwriters’ soul stirring, heart wrenching street tales displays Hip-Hop in its purest, rawest form. His recently released street album “Mercy Me: The Journey” was lauded for its stark realism and truths of life. Mercy takes the listener on a lyrical odyssey that displays the ills, the wills, the wont’s of “the hard working, everyday man”. The message of life, death and everything in between is conveyed on bangers such as “Light It Up”, “Let The Dollars Circulate” and “Believe”. Mercy has performed at various venues in New York City such as The Pyramid, Sputnik, Mo Pitkins and The 5 Spot Supper Club to name a few.
Sometimes we get what we ask for. We asked for mercy and Mercy is what we finally have. Follow Mercy. Follow him on his journey, the journey of life.

You guys were ruthless with the last new artist spotlight, let’s see what you have to say about Mercy. Comments will only get deleted if they have nothing to do with the artist, honest opinions are welcomed.

If you are interested in purchasing his mixtape contact RealTalkNY@gmail.com
