East London-based emcee/producer Jung Mergs recently released the visual for his self-produced track STEEP, featuring Shumba Maasai
The ++ artists show a glimpse of the brotherhood that ties Plus TRBE Recordings together, while in the same vein channeling the message that they’re well ahead of the curve in comparison to whoever is out right now.
Speaking about the inspiration for ‘Steep’, Jung Mergs says, “This track is inspired by the feeling of being hungry for success, what that journey feels like and the effects it’s been having around us. After building foundations for so long, it felt like now was the time to show the world that this is the most authentic sh*t coming out of London, and here’s what that sounds like”.
Highly recommended if you like the sounds of Ghetts, Kano, Skepta, or Slowthai. Jung Mergs is fast becoming revered for his strong lyricism and wordplay, infectious multi-layered flow, unique subject matter, and captivating musicality.
The East London native burst onto the scene in 2019 with his debut EP ‘Vibrations & Consciousness‘, which charted at #56 on the iTunes Rap/Hip Hop album charts, a huge feat for his first-ever project with no backing. Fast-forward to now and Jung Mergs is continuing to prove that he is one of the most exciting new prospects in today’s UK Rap music landscape as we look ahead into 2022.
