After getting his feet wet with some stray releases earlier this year, White Plains, New York native Michael Merlot returns, this time with the first official single off his upcoming EP, “The Calm”, he’s calling “Been On”. Powered by a loosie instrumental, Michael doesn’t take on any clear direction with this one as he keeps it all the way hip-hop and just spills his thoughts as he sees fit. With a dope cover by hometown artist Valsi in tow, “The Calm” is slated to drop in the very near future and is to be followed up by his debut album, “Better Late” before the year closes out.
