Low Tones
Plus TRBE is a collective of creative rappers and producers that push the boundaries of dark Hip Hop but never sacrificing what it means to be a wordsmith. One of the founding members, Jung Mergs guides us through the concrete jungle in his latest offering ‘Low Tones’. Shouting out notable members of his camp like artist Shumba Maasai, he lays down his love and respect for them on the pad. The rapper notes,
“This is a track that delves into eras, moments and thought patterns I have experienced throughout this journey of pursuing music. I wanted to share the birth of Plus TRBE and retrospectively document the journey of self-elevation and authenticity to my truth”
Low Tones is evidently a very personal track for Mergs - a timeline of his evolution. The mantra chanted in the hook illustrates hardship and tests we all go through with a reminder that there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Jung Mergs taps deep into the psyche with this one and is due to caste his stamp on the lyrical scene.
