[ALBUM] ‘LOW’ – Tebz Smith

Christian Rapper, Singer, Songwriter & Producer, Tebz Smith releases LOW, his self-produced debut album through STERNSTRONG, his entertainment company. In spite of all the troubles and self-doubts that came with making this album, Tebz Smith is finally sharing his passion project with the world.

There is a whirlwind of different things that try to keep us down in life; The “Low” Album takes us through that journey of lowness and emptiness, to restoration and gratitude to God. This self-produced project is an embodiment of God’s workings in the personal life of the artist “Tebz smith”. He uses a radical blend of Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, Amapiano, and Gqom to tell vulnerable stories of faith trials he has encountered in the past 5 years and how God instilled in him a spirit of brokenness to overcome these trials.

According to Tebz, “LOW is a concept project that utilizes the homonymic advantage of the word “LOW” itself. In simpler terms, the word “LOW” has different meanings and uses; therefore, this project is making use of some of them as a concept.

1) LOW from an EMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVE would mean to be UNHAPPY and without much hope for the future.(SYNONYM: Depressed)
2) LOW from a STANDARDS/QUALITY PERSPECTIVE would mean Bad, or below an acceptable or usual level or quality i.e. falling short of some standard. (SYNONYM: Poor)
3) LOW from a HUMILITY PERSPECTIVE – would mean “the state of being humble.” in a spirit of deference or submission.

Deference means respect and esteem due to a superior or an elder, while Humility is the state of being humble.” Both words have their origin in the Latin word Humilis, meaning “LOW.” (SYNONYMS: Lowly, Meek)”

Therefore, listening to the album with these perspectives in mind would definitely bring so much meaning to your listening experience.

Even though he’s not an indigenous artist, Tebz infused some Yoruba and pidgin English lines here and there to better convey his message on various tracks across the project. “Low” features Same OG on “Smile” and Salamii TK on “No One” with additional production support by Oshara (Sola Shittu) on Smile.

Take a walk through these personal stories and we pray you’ll hear God speak to you.
