When you mix mind blowing lyricism and love for self and kind, you get Merc...The Goddess MC. Mercedes Barnes, better known as Merc The Big Body Benz (formerly known as Young Merc) is a wicked warrior emcee from Jamaica, Queens. After watching her older cousin write and spit rhymes, Merc decided to write her first verse at the age of ten. That was the birth of Young Merc.
It wasn't until the age of 20 that she released her first mixtape on Reverbnation entitled: "The Big Body Benz Mixtape" under the name of Young Merc, New Years of 2010.
In February of 2014 Merc reintroduced herself to the rap game under the new name "Merc The Big Body Benz" and started performing all over NYC making quite the name for herself.
On July 25, 2016, Merc released an EP entitled "Belated Arrival" on her birthday, signifying the long wait for her music is over. "Belated Arrival" has received praise and critical acclaim for her lyrical abilities and creativity. "Belated Arrival"
is currently available for purchase at Mercthebigbodybenz.bandcamp.com.
Since then Merc has been raising her two young children with her husband Mose. She released an empowering, sex positive EP entitled "Day Sex" on February 14, 2019 that showed a completely different side of Merc. She released her sophomore album "The Many Faced Goddess" on March 9th, 2020 under the full moon. Get ready to hear Merc The Big Body Benz in a way you've never heard her before.
