    Please react to more Lowkey:

    - Obamanation
    - Terrorist
    - Ahmed
    - Alphabet assassin
    - Return of Lowkey
    The order matters if you’re going to do Obamanation and terrorist.

      Some of his under appreciated songs that get swept under the rug are his diss tracks which are personally some of the best:
      - Top 1 Selected (MTV diss for being tied in the charts with Ghetts for best artist in UK)
      - The warning (Chipmunk diss), he goes absolutely crazy on this one

    Lowkey is a legend, like he said he was black balled by the industry because of his political views. Which is best covered in a trilogy of songs
    Obama nation
    Terrorist
    Obamanation part 2
    In that order.
    Another rapper you definitely need to check out is Mic Righteous, especially fire in the booth part 3.

    The Fire in the booths are broadcast on national radio in the UK, and there are rules about what can't be said. Like in America you can't swear on major TV shows. So rappers self censor certain words because they wouldn't be allowed to broadcast it.

    The mad thing is that this man is an activist and scholar first and a rapper second. Lowkey is British Iraqi and is an ardent supporter of the Palestinian struggle as well as social justice in general, from Tower block fires caused by corruption to migrant kids drowning in the ocean.
    Check out Mint Press, Double down news and Middle East Eye to hear him reveal mad hidden truths and detailed exposé.
    This man has gone up against Piers Morgan and other reporters on Sky News and other channels multiple times and debated other scholars in Oxford University.
    There have been attempts to remove his music from Social Media including Spotify but supportive major artists threatened to pull their content and they backed down.
    He stepped away from rap for a time but came back and tours globally with sellout shows with no radio or tv support, fully independent artist, has collabs with beasts like Immortal Technique. If you know you know. This man is leagues above 99.9% of rappers or even politicians and journalists for that matter. Protect this man at all cost
