Lowkey
Lowkey is a Poet, Playwright, Political Activist and award winning Hip Hop Artist of mixed British and Arab descent who has received airplay on numerous major radio stations including BBC Radio 1, Capital FM, Kiss FM, Choice FM and BBC 1Xtra and toured internationally performing to crowds everywhere from Glastonbury and Trafalgar Square to Germany and Amsterdam.
He first made his name at the age of 17, attending the open mic sessions which took place at the infamous Deal Real record shop on Carnaby Street, Central London in 2003. The first time he went, another MC by the name of Loki, who had previously been a regular at the weekly open mic, confronted him and they battled for use of the name. Lowkey was named the winner by the audience and other MC's present.
He has been garnering a large fan base and much critical acclaim since the release of his Key to the Game mix CD series and won the awards for Best Newcomer 2005 at the Lyric Pad Hip Hop Awards and in Undercover Magazine. Logic and Lowkey are co-founders of non profit organization The Peoples Army, started in Brixton, South London. He took part in the NSPCC's "Don't Hide It" campaign in 2007, recording an exclusive track and appearing on Choice FM to talk about the project.

Lowkey best undergrounder!
OMG this guys lyrics are amazing!!! UK doing it big this year. They have revived hip hop!
Finally someone that speaks sense, this is expressing oneself, instead of the rubbish we get to hear in the other music. This really opens your mind to think outside of the box as his lyrics make you think more and question more. His vocals are great and the lyrics truly are amazing
very nice a man, where i can understand his lyrics very powerful lyrics.
@I-Solutions: I’m glad you liked the beat for this song and found the lyrics as good. Real music for real people. Especially with all this misconception about Muslims being terrorists,
Kill-Illuminati he has had so many record labels ask him to sign and be a sell out but I’m glad he still spitting the truth and staying underground. Soon to blow doe :)
@revolutionary music Lowkey has inspired loads of artists in the UK to spit the truth. There are loads of artists that I will be putting up, from all over the UK like: London, Birmingham, Manchester, Swansea and etc.
@Worldthink
I know about time we had someone that talks about the truth. The subject he touched is very sensitive and obviously they are going to be people who disagree with it but im glad that you enjoyed his music! Lowkey outdoes himself every track he releases.
