Lowkey by name not by nature



So I heard this track on an episode of The Cut which I featured a few days ago, as soon as I clocked the 1st few bars I thought "This guy is amazing!" Now usually I would either wait for the credits or go frantically searching the web, but this time I thought "It will come to me. He's that good I will hear of him again and I'll find out his name"
This morning I'm on the Guardian online newspaper reading an article that caught my eye titled 'When will Hip-Hop Hurry Up and Die'-yeah, I know! only in The Guardian lol- I read half way through, and went straight to readers comments and a man mentioned the fact the UK Hip Hop was doing just fine and named Lowkey.  I Youtubed him and there was my track! So here he is I maybe late, but I always deliver lol

Lowkey is a 23 year old lyrical power house of mixed British and Arab heritage. At his age not many people can say that they're a Political Activist, Poet and Playwright. He has been fortunate enough to be given airtime on all of the UK's major Radio Stations and has won Best Newcomer awards for is talents.
Lowkey is also a co-founder of non profit organization The Peoples Army, started in Brixton, South London.
Alphabet Assassin is the follow up to his critically acclaimed Key to the Game mix CD series.
