Marcus Meridian a.k.a. " Big Meridox" represent an element of Hip-Hop that has been deprived of its hunger, and thirst for the underground art of rhyme. a distinctive artist with devestating lyrical abilities forms the rebirth of an age old art of skill. Meridox wishes to deliver the masses from the poisons of industry tyranny, the infectious threat of mainstream diease, and the maniacal outbreak of corperate takeover within the art of hip-hop! "Rap is something you do, Hip-Hop is something you live!!!"Band/artist history
To truly comprehend Big Meridox style, imagine the hard rhymes of Chuck D, the fierce delivery of Rakim, the old school braggadocio of EPMD! This was a time when hip-hop was pure! When thought provoking lyrics and battle rhymes defined skill.
Apart of the local Arizona cooperative "SEECMELLIKEW" Meridox builds with fellow gifted emcees and diverse beat professors who all share the same vision of preserving the art form and it's purest aesthics since the early 90's. In 1999, Meridox (Then known as Nzyme) together with local underground legends Jamesciphurphace and Scripts God formed a group called Reddirt Specimenz who released an EP entitled The Monsoon Cometh: Season of Redemption. Over 1,000 copies were sold independently in the underground community. They opened up for renowned artists such as the Pharcyde, Raekwon & Ghostface Killah, and Fat Joe. Also voted best Hip-Hop group in southern Arizona, Reddirt Specimenz received an accolade for the 01 Tammies (Tucson Area Music Awards). Their self-proclaimed underground classic Green Evil was selected for The Alpha Project Vol. 1 compilation released by Chris Craft and alphabeats.com which featured the likes of Styles of Beyond and MF Doom.
After the supergroup's break up in 2002 Meridox appeared on local mixtapes the "Mercury Project I" with many Arizona local emcee such as Louis Mercury, Mankind, and Rise 1. He also appeared on "The Mercury Project II: Strange Inertia" with his own homage to the KRS-1 on 'Quality', and "The Blaze City Mixtape" with his mentally distuburbing joint 'SICK' . After a long list of guest apperences on mixtapes and miscellaneous songs, in 2003 Big Meridox came together with long time friend and beat master Lee Hybrid and formed THE GREYZ. Together they became defenders of a faith that has been lost for what seems to be decades. With there hardcore style The Greyz single handly molded their styles into a force of infectious beats and "in your face" braggadcio rhymes. In 2005 they recruited former RDS co-member Scripts God and quickly became local underground legends.
Big Meridox is a monster on the microphone, his stage pressence and unorthodox rhymes go unsurpassed throughout the streets of Tucson Arizona. He has appeared on Jamesciphurpace's "Antique Skies'" and "An Honest Day's Work".Have you performed in front of an audience?Anywhere the crowd wants heat!
