To be a great rapper you have to be one fifth musician, one fifth interpreter, one fifth academic, and two fifths poet. So many artists can’t do this equation, and what’s worse is that modern hip-hop encourages that ignorance. Fortunately, there are some artists out there that have the talent and knowledge to do the math and get on that path to hip-hop greatness. One of those artists is T*Merk. - Hypetree

"Birmingham, Alabama's own T. Merk is burning up the southern music scene with his laid-back country vocals over classic hits. Merk, real name Terrence Merkerson, has what's been described as a “cult-like” following..." - Hip-Hop Wired
"T*Merk could be classified as 'real' Hip-Hop music because of his jazzy, more Philly soul sound. A mix of Digable Planets and Common (back when he was Common Sense), with a hint of De La Soul, T*Merk's new project 'Animal House' puts him in a different lane from many in the hip hop genre these days." - I Am Entertainment Magazine
"T*Merk's latest album, Animal House, is classic..." - Skope Magazine

Bio
Birminghamis a city often associated with Americas murky racial past. Its historic streets have found themselves to be impromptu battlegrounds in a seemingly never-ending urban war. It is from this environment that an artist unlike any other that has ever come from the Magic City. T*Merk, is quickly rising as the premier lyricist in a city, a state that has been patiently awaiting its opportunity to show that it is really about on the world stage.
Having recently served as show opener for Big K.R.I.T., T*Merk has been making noise for several years in Birmingham's underground Hip-Hop scene. He has been likened to contemporary heavyhitters such as Common & Nas by entertainment journalists while garnering praises for wielding lyrical sensibilities so unique that it has audiences from Atlanta to Australia clamoring for opportunities to hear his music.
"T*Merk is a cerebral rapper. His lyrics are vivid and creative, his flow is solid, and his beats range from passionate, to sexy, to grimey. I cant stress T*Merks lyrical prowess; he is a poet through and through."
- David Wall, Hypetree
"A mix of Digable Planets and Common (back when he was Common Sense), with a hint of De La Soul, T*Merk is in a different lane from many in the hip hop genre these days."
- Senseitional, I Am Entertainment Magazine
"T*Merk is Lupe Fiasco, meets The Last Poets, meets Common with a hood edge. He is a musician, poet, artist, and craftsman."
- The City Gritty Magazine
