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.
