Lowkey-Top 1 Selected

: February 28, 2011

Following on from the furore of MTV’s top UK emcees list, Lowkey strikes back at those who thought he had no right to be in that list.

He certainly showcases his talent here, where he not only flows to the beat with perfection but lyrically comes through with some very impressive lines. He comes across as very knowledgeable too, declaring that MTV only put him on the list for one reason, and that was to cause friction. Amidst this, he also declares he doesn’t want or need MTV’s support and also states that Ghetts was right in thinking he’s one of the best.

I’ve been following Lowkey on Twitter, so just to give you an idea of what sort of emcee he is I can tell you he’s in New York currently rubbing shoulders with the likes of Immortal Technique and also met one of Malcom X’s daughters. Put it this way, do not expect to hear any ignorant babble from his songs.

FaithSFX first emerged on the UK Urban music scene in 2006, where his extraordinary beatboxing skills have seen him much in demand appearing at large clubs and touring. He has produced tracks for many artists from the UK underground scene, and his production is known for using only his own vocal effects and beatboxing sounds. More recently, Faith has been touring with Plan B, winning over new audiences including Sir Elton John and Paloma Faith. 2011 sees the release of his debut album ‘Man or Machine’.

Sounds like a very interesting project, with some esteemed names here in the grime scene on collaboration duty. Certainly one I will be checking out, you can click right here to get hold of the mixtape and click on below to see some tracklisting in full.

UK Blast: Lowkey / Akala / Black The Ripper

: July 13, 2010


Three of the UK’s hottest spitters come together to redo Lowkey’s popular track from his 2009 debut Dear Listener.

If you’re not a fan of the grime I’ve been posting recently (or even if you are) then take the time to check this out because it gives you a much differing angle on the UK scene.

Lowkey-The Warning (Chipmunk Diss)

: June 10, 2010


Some homegrown UK rap for you folk. I know nothing about Lowkey, but here’s what I do know: he picked a great beat (Puff/B.I.G’s Victory), and I despise Chipmunk.

Hence, I’m quite liking this one. Lowkey comes in with some pretty scathing rhymes, and says what we’re all thinking about the state of UK mainstream ‘hip-hop’: really recommend giving this a go, as you’ll be agreeing with pretty much everything he says (he also takes some worthwhile shots at labels). Some of his flows, especially toward the end of the track, are good too. I’ll be looking out for more from this guy.
