Merkules is on tour with Snoop Dogg and doing songs with Shaquille O'Neal
After a life-altering attack that nearly killed him when he was 16, Cole Stevenson, also known as Merkules, set out to become one of the biggest rappers on Canada’s West Coast. Growing up, he had pictures of Snoop Dogg on his bedroom wall. So years later, when Snoop’s label Death Row Records came calling, Merkules almost hung up the phone. Today, he’s the only Canadian artist to ever be signed to the iconic label. Merkules sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about his debut for Death Row, Survivor's Guilt, which is a statement album about his life, career, and the obstacles he’s overcome along the way.
