The Allegory by LOWFi
LOWFi's "The Allegory" is based on Plato's work, "Allegory of the Cave" where he describes a group of people chained to a cave wall and forced to live a limited reality based on shadows projected on to the walls. The conceptual LP takes a deep dive into this worldview. “In short, The Allegory is about ignorance, information, raising questions, yet still keeping our young energy,” explains Hayelo. The group embraces poetic symbolism. For instance, the cave represents a system of oppression. Meanwhile, a shadow is a metaphor for force-fed reality, combated by truth as light.

LOWFi began in 2013 as a byproduct of their generation's fluency in social media, when young Baltimore MCs Jayy Grams and Von Wilda connected with Florida-native Hayelo on The Booth Rap Studio app, sharing their music with one another and building a relationship. Bonding over their similar approaches to making music, the three decided to form an all-for-one crew and began making music as LOWFi.
