Genre-Bending R&B-Soul Artist and Emcee Meryem Saci Releases Brand New Single From Debut Hip-Hop EP, Titled Danger Zone
A song about reclaiming your power, Meryem Saci's "Danger Zone" is a haunting, powerful anthem that acknowledges both the moment of realization, and action of taking your power back when you have been taken advantage of. Combining Meryem's soaring, soulful vocals with her expertly delivered, rhythmic flow, "Danger Zone" tackles the painful road of recognizing you have been played, to the liberating decision to never allow it to happen from that person again. With an almost eerie sound of a slowed-down toy box behind an unconventional drill beat, "Danger Zone" reminds listeners that the best revenge is moving on.
Globally recognized as a soaring R&B-Soul vocalist, remarkable Hip-Hop artist and skilled lyricist, Meryem Saci’s dazzling range of artistic talents have captivated audiences around the world.

Arriving in Canada as an Algerian refugee during the devastating civil war known as the Black Decade, the young teenager found solace and inspiration in Hip-Hop which “spoke about realities that are extremely difficult, controversial, and sad, but it made it almost sound like a celebration.” As a member of global supergroup Nomadic Massive, Saci has opened for the likes of Public Enemy, Mos Def, and Busta Rhymes. After launching her solo career, works from Saci’s debut EP and album have been featured in some of the biggest fashion advertisements in Canada, with multiple placements in Lululemon and Dynamite clothing campaigns.

Having incorporated elements of Hip-Hop into her prior releases, Saci’s sophomore EP marks her first project solely focused on her talents within the genre. Teaming up with Montreal producer Nazbrok Jaynaz to help bring her artistic vision to life, Saci challenged herself to write lyrics to a variety of Hip-Hop styles, ranging from Boom Rap, Drill, Trap, and Afro-Pop. Weaving in musical elements from across the globe, Saci expertly marries her roots from East to West, leaving her signature touch on the biggest genre in music today.
Meryem Saci’s “Game of Life” is an exploration in self-realization and societal issues, covering concepts of love, money, and values – a musical collection of the group of pieces that unlock the “Game of Life”. With a stunning visual component for multiple singles from the EP, Saci’s already out of this world creativity expands to include both visual storytelling and fashion. “Game of Life” opens with “Boss Up”, a song originally written to self-motivate Saci to take control of her mindset and life path, encouraging her to move away from being reactionary to external factors. Through its haunting melody, hard hitting drums, and distinct bass line Saci’s gritty, quiet confidence shines as she encourages herself and others to not allow external chaos to knock them off balance.
The lead track from the project, “Something to Remember (STR)” features a dazzling combination of Saci’s talents, merging her explosive singing with her expert delivery of drill-styled rap. Featuring a classical chord section that sets the dramatic and cinematic tone of the song, Saci takes ownership of who she is and her past, likening her life story to a movie. “STR” features a stunning video filmed in Portugal, oscillating between the storyline of rich vs. poor with exquisite backdrops and high-fashion, creatively conveying that despite
struggles and roadblocks, having the right mindset can shift everything.
With its piano-driven melody and underlying BoomTrap beat, “Get The Money” shares a multitude of concepts surrounding society’s obsession with money, while at the end of the day it is the one thing everyone is after. Saci’s cadence shines on top of her
sparkling harmonies and vocal runs, providing a steady stream of consciousness about wealth and power.
Brimming with vibrant melodies, masterful delivery, and skillfully expressed concepts, Meryem Saci’s “Game of Life” is a stunningly crafted and performed musical journey through the game-board of humanity today. Having challenged herself to create a new sonic experience for both herself and her fans, Saci’s spellbinding talent in both singing and rap
brilliantly shine as she delivers personal yet universally relatable concepts. Solidifying herself among the short-list of outstanding female vocalists who rap, Meryem Saci’s boundless talents join together her international influences to make a sound all her own.
