A very special video featuring some friends of Jah Tung and a handful of dancers from the Sydney community. The song is an upbeat and catchy anthem of motivation and upliftment. Hold On is the 8th and final single from Jah Tung's 12 track debut, self-produced album, titled Digital Degeneration - OUT NOW on all platforms, released with Evidence Music. Huge thanks to all dancers and everybody involved in helping create this memorable montage! All music & lyrics written & performed by Jah Tung except: Drums by Dubvisionist Backing vocals by Yasmin Forrester Mixed by Jah Tung & Douglas Wardrop / Conscious Sounds Mastered by Douglas Wardrop / Conscious Sounds Animation by @tnkgrphcs “My self-produced album, Digital Degeneration, was born from my realisation that, rather than running from the digital sound I was limited to, by means of my recording equipment and software, I should embrace the abilities of the digital tools and simply balance it with a few analogue recordings and samples where necessary. This gave birth to the theme of the project, as I wanted to present a concept album that would be reflected in the sound, the lyrical content, as well as the visuals. The title track, Digital Degeneration, is a commentary on a society moving towards an unnatural, dystopian future, “...covering creation with dem synthetic imitation.“ @JahTung Hold On lyrics: Hold on Don’t give up yet Rise to the test This is your destiny Hold on Give it your best & try your hardest That is the key They say you manifest the words that you speak It’s not coincidental And if we sow it then I know we will reap This rule is fundamental Me rather make sacrifice fi stay fit and healthy Than roll dice get rich and wealthy Me know gold it a glitter plenty But me feast my eyes, it still leave my system empty Them can't misdirect me Stay 'pon me toes, move swift and stealthy So me nah care weh them pitched against me Cause my shield of faith defend me Hold on Don’t give up yet Rise to the test This is your destiny Hold on Give it your best & try your hardest That is the most important thing No matter what you a reaching for Victory is not about the score What are we all competing for? Better you don’t compare just try do better than you did before I know it ain’t no easy road You know we all have burdens But I will help you bear the load Whenever you feel uncertain Because we’ve all been down and we all have highs and lows, yeah Yeah man you reap just what you sow That’s how the cycle of life goes Hold on Don’t give up yet Rise to the test This is your destiny Hold on Give it your best & try your hardest That is the most important thing And if you're trying your hardest You will reap at the harvest They say you manifest the words that you speak It’s not coincidental, no way And if we sow it then I know we will reap This rule is fundamental Them fi know I know you'll succeed if you only hold on Don’t you give up yet Rise up to the test This is your destiny Hold on Don't you give up Don't give up Oh no, no, no Copyright ©️ 2023
