The homie, Lowkey after a self imposed retirement from the rap game is scheduled for a return to the music industry. A thought provoking rapper, he has been releasing music for more than a decade.
The early naughties were spent rhyming with the crew ‘Poisonous Poets’ and independently releasing a series of classic mixtapes which led to European tours and collabs with the likes of Immortal Technique and Dead Prez.
A passionate and vocal story teller of Iraqi descent, Lowkey released ‘Long Live Palestine’ in 2009 with features from rappers heralding from Iraq, Iran, Palestine and Syria. The EP was met with widespread music and political recognition and spawned what was to be his debut album ‘Soundtrack To The Struggle’.in 2011.
The next four years were his enforced retirement to pursue his academic studies and in recent happenings the imminent September tour was announced in conjunction with a brand new song and video. It’s a very though provoking rap narrative depecting the plight and suffering of innocent and vulnerable children caught up in war.
