I was exposed to his music about 2 years ago and now im passing on the favor..to all those of you who like conscious political music

Kareem Dennis (born 23 May 1986[1]) is a musician and political activist of English and Iraqi descent, better known by his stage name Lowkey.[2] He first became known through a series of mixtapes he released before he was 18,[3] before taking a hiatus from the music business. He would return in 2008 with wider music coverage, featured on BBC Radio[4][5] and appearing at various festivals and concerts including the Electric Proms,[6] Glastonbury, T In The Park and Oxegen[7] in the build up to his first solo album Dear Listener, as well as collaborating with other famous English musicians to form a supergroup. Though his mainstream support gradually declined due to his outspoken political views, his career continued to go from strength to strength as a solo independent artist, touring in countries all over the world including Lebanon, Australia, Greece, Venezuela, the United States, the West Bank in the Palestinian territories, Italy and many more. He released his second solo album Soundtrack to the Struggle independently on 16 October 2011.

Soundtrack to the Struggle is one of the best albums ive heard in a long while
