Jung Mergs - GLOCK (Official Video)

East London rapper and producer, Jung Mergs is back with the brand-new infectious and thought-provoking single, ‘Glock.’

Jung Mergs first burst onto the scene with his debut EP ‘Vibrations & Consciousness’ releasing in April 2019 and entering at #56 on the iTunes Rap/Hip-Hop album charts, Jung later followed up in April 2020 with the heavily praised single ‘Revenge’, and then the introspective and raw ‘Paranoia’, earning a massive response in the UK underground. For his efforts, Mergs has received consistent praise from tastemakers such as Trench, Earmilk, New Wave Magazine and many more.

Speaking on recent video ‘Paranoia’ Coming off the back of these recent releases, Jung Mergs shows no signs of slowing down as he returns with yet another love-tinged mix of trap and R&B in the form of ‘GLOCK’. The new record gives us a taste of what will be served on the rapper’s forthcoming 5 track EP “___”, as he continues to show his versatility, effortlessly switching flows and styles throughout. The intoxicating yet consciously charged offering is combined with an eye grabbing visual which shows Mergs perfectly embodying the vibe of the single, calmly floating and gliding through the track with grace, as the subtle intricacies of both the visual and single itself play in tandem. Adding smooth transitions, rich tones and vivid colour into the mix - this is another example of why Jung Mergs is one of the most unique artists in the scene right now.

The self proclaimed “master of all and jack of none”, like many others, has had a tough last couple years with the Covid epidemic knocking momentum, but with ‘GLOCK’, Jung Mergs is making his intentions clear for 2022. Hailing from the self-owned independent label Plus TRBE Recordings, Mergs has gone from strength to strength, and his latest single is yet another impressive showcase of his wildly unique subject matter, lyricism, flow and musicality. Sleep on him at your peril.
