Thousands of songs hit the music industry every day, which means millions of recorded musique every month. The listeners have a pool of tracks to choose from, but only a few make it to one’s playlist. Because of that, not every artist who releases music reaches a listener’s list of ‘favorites.’
Merlin Zapravo leads in this East and West Coast combined hip-hop/rap underground with a positive message to pay respect to some of the greatest and legendary rappers of all time, such as Tupac, Biggie, and many more.
Merlin Zapravo is a crossover artist gifted with unusual writing and singing skills. His artistry, combining Creole, English, and Spanish recipes, makes him one of the music game’s flavored musicians. Merlin, whose story has been covered by some of the most prominent media outlets, promises to bring a more assorted music-book to the table.
Unlike most rappers in the game, Merlin attacks a widespread audience globally as an independent artist. His consistency attracts record companies like LeftRight Music Group, which later signed him to their label. Being signed to LeftRight Music Group – LRMG started Merlin’s uphill journey. He released several tracks under this record label. He built a broad network of fans, and things began to take shape in Merlin Zaprvo’s career as a musical artist. Be Yourself received an overwhelmingly positive response from every corner of the world. The music video was produced and directed by the Jamaican director Kameica Reid – the youngest music/video producer in the game. Merlin was happy with the young producer’s creative delivery. With the help of talented dancers, Jamaica was able to fulfill Merlin’s dream video gracefully.
It’s healthy to be yourself. In any form, you can see yourself not only because you are what you are or wants everyone to like you. You are perfect the way you are. It is not easy to appreciate ourselves based on our personality because we think we are not perfect. No one would like you for who you are – no one, you might think. This uncomfortable feeling is usually enough to inspire you to know that you are what you are – that nobody else is like you. I guess that makes you the number one known example of yourself in every angle people can see you coming.
The song drives self-confidence; the more you hear it, the more it does what you like about yourself, and the better you want to be. When you feel good about yourself, self-doubt and self-loathing can creep in less. If you can emerge from adversity more vigorous than ever, then enjoy the fact that you are one step closer to your greater self.
With lines like these:
“Damn, with no disrespect
I think you swing them both sides
But the sound of the East is so different from the Westside
Did Biggie copy Tu-Pac or Tu-Pac copy Biggie?
Nobody copied anybody at that time; they were the best
Wadada dem
Don’t be acting like a fool
That’s why so many haters think you cannot do
That’s why so many haters think you cannot do
Better than them
Don’t copy anybody because you’re better than them (them, them, them)
You don’t have to be somebody else
Just be yourself
All you get to do is to be yourself
From all stereotypes, you can free yourself
Nobody’s like you
You don’t have to be somebody else
Just be yourself
All you get to do is to be yourself
From all stereotypes, you can free yourself
Nobody’s like you”.
Despite coming from a background full of turnarounds, Merlin Zapravo has been able to stick to his passion, holding the wheels to the limit. Be Yourself is available on every central music platform, including Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, Deezer, and Napster.
Merlin Zapravo, born Hans Ashte Tondereau, shares a first name with one of the most famous fictional wizards of all time. Although he might not know too much about alchemy and spells, he has a magic formula to create catchy and appealing songs that transcend genre definitions.
