Lowkey talks Westwood, Fire in the Booth 2, Illuminati & more
Hip Hop MC Lowkey talks Tim Westwood, when his long-awaited second Fire In The Booth will drop, his thoughts on the illuminati & more.
We caught up with him at his show in Southampton with Akala at the Cellar. This was shot just before he retired and he discusses his album Soundtrack to the Struggle, his (then) plans for 2012, the music scene and many other topics.
Thanks again to Lowkey for allowing us to do this interview. Hope to see him back soon.

Patiently waiting for lowkey to drop a 2000 bar freestyle killing everything ever created. One can dream😂😂
He's back! with 100 bars people! Get liking this so people are aware that he's coming back with a fresh 100 bars hopefully it leads to something big!
It's about raising awareness, and Lowkey has made a huge difference.
He was targeted by goverment. Told to shut up or pay for speaking. Hes on a list like many others that are to verbal. He didnt stop to study and write a book thats a lie and a cover up of what really happend come on people use your head. He says clearly he was going to make another album the. Suddenly a facebook status says hes walking away to do him. THINK! Lowkey is a genious BRING BACK LOWKEY!

***** sadly he will never come back due to the fact of his life be threatened by the elite. He is dangerous to their plan of world domination. He opens the minds of the people to what is really going onm they cant have that. Just like Tupac and many others before him.. they will ailence those who oppose.

***** pac I think was a little different no matter what was said in the press pac would still be huge he was the one rapper that no matter what the media said he would never fade. For me personally I think he was killed because basically the whole of America followed him like I think the people would of listened to pac than the government and plus he had money and the power of the people to back his plans up, pac would've ruled the people and in theory American. He was coming off deathrow to make his own label so no more interscope, he would've had his own label that wasnt apart of the machine so he would've had the power to make big rappers like himself

Andrew MC He is at university and is bringing out a new album. If the establishment was involved, from what I've heard, they weren't that direct.
YES! give us an update on lowkey please!
First time hearing this dude was Obamanation song. Good shit. Good to see people awake in Hip Hop. We need to keep growing our own network of people who want knowledge and truth. Instead of changing their world we need to keep creating our own world we control. People like this give me hope that will happen. The ruling power only has the power we allow them to.
keshav man its oz, i was just strolling youtube and came across ur video... nice work!
this video is sick. nice editing and the questions were good too
i didnt know that. i checked out your channel and some of the videos you've like, you have a good taste in music
very good interview..
What a dude
LARGE UP LOWKEY ! Do your thing G !

+aldaniel francis Last time I spoke with him I think he said he is :) (was a long while ago though)
Lowkey is a good man, not a (bad man), that's little mind set change. He stands for the truth and righteousness I love that. Lowkey you are amazing, peace and love you and your family. Gifted individual, and were all gifted but some choose to use and utilize their gift/s most don't 1
WOW Im a new fan for now on
Big up Lowkey.. UK stand up!
And so are you sir !!!! :)
Bring back lowkey!
lowkey is very underatted
+Casey Jones you don't need to be ashamed to be American. Just because American powers are corrupt doesn't mean that you guys should take the blame for it Peace from Manchester!
Lowkey is something else whether it be through music or teachings
Lowkey......i am speechless
we need u bak lowkey!!!
Yes.
If you check out the Akala interview, he actually talks about this and how a song in itself can't really change anything. You should check it out. Peace
Wait, does this mean Lowkey's coming back to music ?!? YESSSS :D :D :D : D
Lowkey and Akala are on another level wretch 32 imo .. ✌🎧
Yes the autobiography of Malcolm X is my favorite book. It also enlightens you to how much self-realization matters to an individual in order to change them for the better.
Here's hoping he comes back.
A true brother
Lowkey understands individualism vs collectivism very well and that is encouraging to see. I wish he would have researched Ron Paul here and gave his possible support. Lowkey understands what the New World Order is about as well. Last I heard he is going to college and is done with music for now. He doesn't want a huge spotlight on him and God knows how much fear over his welbeing and safety he feels at times. Lowkey is going low key.
Lowkey!!! U r the Best!!!!
how ironic as i clicked this video i had advert for the army haha
Just b/c one man can't change the world, that doesn't mean that he can't inspire the ones that will.
YES PLEASE!
Love the Bill Hicks part at the beginning
Thanks for all the comments guys. Who should we interview next? Send us your suggestions! (thinking of doing another with Lowkey & Akala too)
TY
No I mean Large up. We, the black community, are the ones who make up these terms such as large up, and big up. No one dictates to us how we should say it.
Though the comments might suggest it, I very much doubt that. There's some grime talents out there who are passionate about doing their thing which, yes, is totally anti-system, but I wouldn't consider that cashing in, I would see it as the opposite. Anything's better than MTV. He's fucking talented man and his message is strong.
immortal technique is more "street" in talking than lowkey, so I think that's the main reason as to why people like tech's interviews more
2015 still waiting for his album.
Remember that Technique has almost 10 years on Lowkey though!
Golly this clip just popped on my you tube.its about time I say how sorry I am that my uncle is stil on the board of bae systems
I agree but there both pullin in the same direction.. I was watchin an IT interview were he was quoting James Joyce while he was in Belfast i was happy being Irish an him quoting one of our hero's
Yup
He is handsome,smart and talented. I believe that he is right about how the world is. I am ashamed to be an American. We commit crimes against so many countries and try to act like were heros. Stealing land is wrong. What is so hard to understand? And yet its like history repeating itself. What a shame.
Dont relegate me or elevate me LOWKEY
Watch some of his interviews on Russia Today, might change your mind. Regardless, what he does is social commentary, such as John Lennon or Bob Marley have done before him (Think 'Imagine' by Lennon and 'War' or 'Revolution' by Marley) he does know his stuff. It isn't tantamount to revolution, but the idea is that he informs people, and those people will then make a change. You have to start somewhere.
Looking Forwade to hearing the some more lowkey ........
props 2 norte & surenOs....
no lowkey helps people understand the issues we are facing as a race, if you can't appreciate his message then move on because negativity isn't getting you anywhere
every song = allot of wake up's !! So verry good! if we have enough people awake! than we can start our freedom or better sayed our revolution!!
Try to think of music as a medium that's raising awareness, and because of that new level of awareness, people will be inspired to achieve change in the system. That is the way it works. I don't think many artists expect a revolution based on a couple of good songs otherwise it would've happened a long time ago, not to mention they'd be considered very arrogant.
N I C A R A G U A With LOWKEY!!!!
As far as I know he is much more focused on social justice than on religious issues. The stance on social justice would strongly suggest that he opposes oppression whoever causes it but most of his music is focused on the UK, Iraq, where his mothers family is from, the US and issues in Palestine/Israel. Diametrically opposed? Search Liberation Theology, the structure of the early church and note that Muslims lived in peace and equality with other faiths for centuries in countries such as India.
Love what Lowkey stands for. Hes talented, intelligent and so fine.... I wanna marry him!
Gotta love him
big up lowkey
Lowkey should do a song with Lupe Fiasco :o
true guy
hes a gd lyricist and i think it would be a ill collab not all hip hop is conscious bro
slick rick & snoop dogg!!
No, he doesn't focus on it because one man can only tackle so many issues. There weren't many Beatles songs about the suffering of Polish people being abused by Russians in the Soviet Union, nor did Bob Marley focus on the continued mistreatment, abuse and injustice which continues to affect Native Americans.
Omg im reading economic hitman too!! It's pretty good so far
This guy asked, What's next for Lowkey in 2012? And Lowkey said another album. If that is true then why has he decided to study instead? I don't understand. And it is really suspicious.

I can clear this up for you. We spoke to Lowkey recently, he's very happy studying and is enjoying a different means of understanding and challenging power. At the time we did this interview, he did intend on another album but of course, he was interested in studying too and made the choice to do that. It's not anything suspicious, rather he feels passionately about academic education for the moment. Hope this helps - Keshav

Doesn't look like it at the moment. We asked for another interview but his focus is to study at the moment and write a book.
I came on too see what books he advise's .. never can think of a good book Im reading george Orwells 1984 absolute genius book id recommended to any1
00:30 i want that in the song
All these politicians in the American Government seem to be wolves in sheeps clothing to me.
What's tht track called? Wen he was talking about ''roles royce don't only make cars''??
Also ask about his feelings on what happened to Norman Finkelstien.
Yes it must have been.

05:58 i understand you. believe me.

I would love to see some interviews with some of the high focus team leaf dog or fliptrix also I heard proverbz the other day got lyrics
can someone please list me the books that lowkey reccomends, thank you!
IF WAR DOES COME I WONT LIVE THROUGH IT EVERYONE THINKS SO
he may not b a political rapper but he does advocate for better hip-hop....still better then the otehr rappers out there
I just watched a video where lowkey said that he was arrested and the things associated with that was why he stopped making music for a while, but I'm pretty sure the government is still fucking with him.
A People's History of the US by Howard Zinn.
I don't care how much progress people make, I care about the efforts they put into it. This world needs to change, and the only people in the way are the people who not only don't try for themselves, but actually criticize others who are *trying*. If you don't wanna boycott Israel or speak the truth, or create artwork that counters the mainstream or write text that challenges the Imperial powers, at least have the courtesy to shut up and let others TRY.
I don't get it, Lowkey took a rest from music to go his studies which he had said but on this vid it said the new 2012 album. Anyone help with this?
Here is the sources; Pappe,Itan. "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" (Oxford,2003). Amnesty Internation Annual Report (years 2000-2007). Hass,Amira. "Drinking the Waters at Gaza" (1996).
anyone can tell me what's lowkey against exactly ? what's the story? where can i find a documentary about lowkey
Nah this interview was taken before he decided to give up the industry. I hear he wants to write a book now. That should be awesome :)
hand on your gun. its a banger man
Can anyone tell me who the american dude speaking at the beginning is?
Come back lowkey
I really forgot to put "banned". Anyway, you get me.
Lowkey should do a track wit nas
SALUTE
i thought he was gonna say he was reading into 3 books, 25!!
you havent heard "sly fox" and theres way more look it up
hey revolutionhive, large up, love what youve been doing can you give me a contact address for you guys because id like to use some of this interview on a skit for my mixtape. thank you
Read Walter Rodney = How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
at least they are doing something, taking action and spending their lives fighting for the sake of humanity which is not a common thing amongst people of the 21st century, maybe making music is not the most effective way but what me and you have done?
its obvious his retirement was not planned. because hes talking about a new album and fire in the booth
whiz & snoop!!!
