High Notes from a Lowkey

Happy 53rd Independence day Malaysia. The numbers really would ambiguously differ in meaning for the masses. I wouldn't bullshit saying I'm much of the patriotic nor nationalistic younGns. On paper, we are 53 years independent off the United Kingdom, and I really am glad full since I've been given all the basic necessities from my nation - enough if not all.

Getting back on the UK, I've been constantly writing on their hip hop scene. Some has been dropping mails and such asking why is the local Malaysian, Indonesian and New York cover ups been less and such. At the moment I'd love to say that I'm seconding if not introducing some new school instrumentals with old school rhymes from all over the world. Local boys gotta wait, I'mma step them game up sooner or later..

I recently heard this rapper from the UK, and this lad was featured in a mixtape entitled Concealed Weapons II hosted by The League Of Extraordinary Gz. This Iraqi blooded rapper is named Lowkey. I sat down and watched a couple of video's of him on Youtube and up to my surprise, the rhymes were properly arranged to be verbally "kill my Valentine". I did some research on his personal website and found that, this guy is an activist and much would some argue that he has them anti-American sentinels jotted down by various sites about his music. I'd refute to that since being a frontier, upholding your beliefs, segregating war bullshits and questioning power would not make Lowkey for instance a laggard. This cat has shifted from sounding American earlier in his mixtapes to the thick UK accent (I cant hardly get em!).

Gentlemen, I'd would like to second this video not as a part of mocking Obama's administration, nor would I tally to the conventional UK Hip Hop versus NYC shiznit. I'm doing this for the Palestinian's and them freedom fighters, them emcees who would wanna have something to relate to, to those rap critics who has meticulously penned wrong inks about the current quality of rhyme schemes. Lowkey - Obamanation

Natives kept in casinos and reservations/
This place/ gives no slaves reparations/
Take everything from native Americans/
and wonder why I call it the racist experiment//

Afraid of your melanin/
as same as its ever been/
That's ain't gonna change with the raise of the president//

I see racism under your skin tone/
You could call it Chris Columbus syndrome//

This cliche as F...

Breaching To Write

All right good-fellaz, I thank ya'all for all your mails and Facebook messages this past few weeks. I know Ramadhan has started, thanks as well for the fasting wishes. I don't fast though, I adore those who do so. A lot of you cats has been asking me what's new music wise, when would my mixtape be dropping in Indonesia and such. I'd just wanna say it's been on put for quite sometime right now, your boy has been doing loads of street shows by the weekends but I'm yet to find the time to promote my mixtape. That's a real harsh pain in the gluteus right now!

My productions on the other hand has been put to good use. Kota Tinggi Troops topped the Gempak Charts and they have been given some sort of contract to re-record the song. My man Cue Dubz from South Africa has produced his video of the street banger "There's A Plan". Back in Bandung, Modern Rap Rubbish are working on a underground joint as well as Ruffneck and Missy Allen's unreleased singles.

In short, I have confirmed pending stuffs to ponder upon this next few months:
1) Kota Tinggi Troops - Warisan Perjuangan(produced by MC Nucleo)
2) Cue Dubz - There's  A Plan (produced by MC Nucleo)
3) Modern Rap Rubbish - Self Titled (produced by MC Nucleo)
4) Missy Allen feat MC Nucleo - Self Titled (produced by MC Nucleo)
5) Eastside 21 feat MC Nucleo - Everlasting (produced by DJ Dizz)
6) One Blood - Ganyang Pembodohan Media (produced by MC Nucleo)


At the same time, I'm feeling gloomy with work nowadays. I'm not ventilating and such, but yeah its BLUE-ish.

I'm in need to write, hence I was in search for some good lyrics to challenge my Broca's area today.. I came across Final Outlaw's single called Breach The Surface. This is the best shit I heard this month for real. There are just too many good quotes to make you underground cats clap(trust me).

If you happen to purchase music on i-Tunes, stop B-O-B-ing and do this for real. I just got mine, its worth every penny and I'm not sharing. This would for real help me in months to come. Do hear them song and stay young as they claimed We're all Gonna Die..
