Artist description In everyday life he’s known as Craig Williams. But in the world of Hip Hop, he’s known as Mercury’s Threshold. Known for his clever, witty lyrics and hard-edged deliveries, Mercury’s Threshold commands the microphone at any stage, showcase, or lyrical battle. He is definitely one to get the audience’s attention and keep them wanting more and more of his dynamic performances. Born in Michigan, the 24-year-old Hip Hop phenom began putting together his lyrical style in his teens. Being a fan of Greek mythology, the young talent decided to choose the name “Mercury”, who was a messenger to God, to be a messenger of his own opinions and expressions to the Hip Hop world. He than chose to add more flare to his stage name by adding the word “threshold”, taking Hip Hop to its limits. Once he had his stage name intact, and his rhyme style down, he decided it was time to lay down his raps on tape. He ventured into the studio and started to perfect his talents on record. He’s been recording since 2000, putting together a library of tracks that are indeed infectious to the ear. Mercury’s Threshold currently resides in South Bend, Indiana, and has worked with several well-known groups in the area, such as Midwest Mayhem, Caliber, Infra-Red, and the very popular Mentality Flow. He is working in the studio at present with producer Stric Nine, who has worked with the legendary group, Beastie Boys, on their Grand Royal label. He is also working with his cousin Furious Stylz, an up and coming Hip Hop artist in Detroit. Some of Mercury’s Threshold’s influences are Rakim, KRS-One, Ice Cube, and Nas. He has performed at various talent shows and showcases in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. He is definitely in tune with the latest happenings of Hip Hop, and feels that he can fill that void of originality and depth the genre currently lacks. If Hip Hop is about image, Mercury’s Threshold is about artistry. If Hip Hop is about imitation, then Mercury’s Threshold is about innovation. He is a true breath of fresh air to the Hip Hop world; so make sure to stay tuned…
