    They should be filling stadiums with their endless talents!

      And to do that they would need to sell out to the Corporate fat cats who would turn their genuine political messages into a tightly packaged curiosity with no punch and now power.

    That last exchange where they were rapping back and forth gave me chills.

    Rarely is a live version better than the original. And rarely does a song have the power to move me so deeply. Akala and Lowkey are two of the greatest gifts to hip hop. Lyrical geniuses spitting it better than 99% of the rappers out there.

    Deadly combination! Sounds so organic when there’s no influence from the industry

    Aspiring artists take note..This is how you write and perform HipHop.

    Lowkey and Akala could easily make an album together and become a great duo feeding off each others lyrics and flow like Nas and AZ. Legends both of them.

    • @littlewig200
      @littlewig200 7 років тому +1

      Or like Biggie and Meth

    • @Forever_Unboxing
      @Forever_Unboxing 7 років тому +2

      James Marsh Yeah but they only had a few songs together. The others had entire albums together and a huge catalogue of singles together.

      Fuck really, i can honestly only think of life's a bitch which i thought was noteworthy enough to explain your reference. I'll check that out now cheers mate x

      I still don't know why these 2 haven't made an entire album together.. It'd be amazing.

    "This mental prison I live in cause I am so conditioned
    By my privilege, what a strange contradiction
    To grow up brown in Britain and know that your living
    Was paid for by a carcass that resembles yours
    Born in the heart of the empire
    You're worth more than others just like you
    But less then the native ones"
    Wow some deep words right there 💯

    What an unforgettable night this was... Great to see Lowkey back where he belongs. If only for a short while, the memory will be timeless. Akala was on fire, and Josh Osho just sent it over the top! Thank you. Big up!
