This guy has no record label, done a fire in the booth in 2010 with almost 6 million views. He’s an OG and stopped doing rap for 7 years to do a PHD and now he’s back with a daily duppy. I do not wanna see any hate, this guy will still lyrically slap your favourite rapper if he wanted to
"Rap like I'm trying to hurt you it's commercial, but rap like I'm trying to help you it's controversial" this alone shuts it down 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For the newer generation who are unaware of who Lowkey is and what he represents, take a moment to acknowledge and witness greatness on levels which aint accounted for in todays society. ALWAYS WILL BE G.O.A.T
This guy is the most humble down to earth person you'll ever meet. Always bump into him in the ends and always has a smile! Love my G! Smashing it up as always! God bless you broski 🙏
Lowkey, Akala, wretch 32 and avelino are so clearly above everyone else, I can only assume they work harder and actually WANT to improve every day. So happy to see Lowkey on here !!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly! Such a shame, been listening to him for years and listen to his old tunes til this day, different level hes on and all without rapping about drugs, women and money. But hes way too underrated smh.
I can't even begin to tell yall how happy I am that I clicked on this. I'm in America, and I miss lyricists like this. Swear the best music is coming outta UK the last 5 years.
Don't know how down you are with the uk scene but if you liked this obviously check out more lowkey but also Akala, Logic (uk logic not american) mic righteous and English Frank. A nice selection of uk rappers that speak that real.
More lyrical content in this one track than most 'artists' entire careers. I'm listening to this for the 3rd time back to back now.. Still picking up on things I missed the first 2 times.
@Flames Case Studieshaha had it happen to me about a year ago, for a channel i cant remember now, but would be like 12 hours or so of upload i wouldn't be able to watch the newest videos. still don't know why or how it happened/s but it did. makes you think your going crazy 😅

There is something I love about almost all Lowkey songs that I have been listening to ever since I was a kid. He teaches us new stuff through his music and intentionally mention names that the average person have probably not heard off before so that we go and do our own research and learn even more new stuff. That’s why I appreciate Lowkey, as we are lost in our day to day lives and probably too busy/lazy to read/research, he helps us to widen our scope of knowledge.
You've also got Logic, Caxton Press, Taskforce (farma G and Chester P, the real OGs of uk hiphop) Jehst, Akala, Fliptrix, Leafdog and the rest of Highfocus, blah records ala Children of the Damned.... man theres so much good uk hiphop between 2001 and 2020. You just gotta look.

The day I hear Low-key on my radio will be a day in history to remember. I have felt every lyric he spits in my soul for over a decade , he literally speaks what’s in my soul. I’m gonna collaborate with him one day. Fuck I’d pay to see him in parliament. Revolution is coming ….

@@official.avdmj15 Wretch is sick but he's more social woke. You don't hear him breaking down the massive institutions in simple terms. I think he's the most unique rapper out of the the three thats been said so far cos you couldn't put him in a category cos he's in his own lane and that lane is quite untouchable too but Lowkey and Akala are both people that drive forward a conventional means of self growth in ways which no one that still plays the position of a rapper can do. These two have more to them than just rap, like he said he's literally quoted for the things he says and same with Akala. Wretch ik has a few quotes, but like I said he's socially woke and plays the role of what a rapper she be like. In fact wretch and lowkey made a tune back in the days search for it you won't be disappointed!!
I grew up listening to Lowkey, Akala, BlackTheRipper(R.I.P😢☹), Logic, and man am I glad I did. They really opened up my eyes. This was cold btw! It gave me chills, listened to it 3 times and found new sentences every time. It is like a gold mine. I really missed Lowkey, been waiting for a comeback for years. Hope this is his year.

Lowkey is gae
Lowkey is a teacher who raps the lesson.
A real MC/Rapper, not reading lyrics off a phone, no auto tune, proper lyrics with a message that makes sense! Big up Lowkey!

Lowkey reads of his phone a lot in cyphers and fitbs. He is the greatest though
He reads off his phone all time
You do realise he’s just lip syncing here

Bang on
Also let's acknowledge that he writes these lyrics himself unlike many artists out there. Lowkey is nothing but pure/raw talent

When lowkey went to school he taught the teachers
It makes more sense now
Brilliant comment!
💯

Big comment!! Time from some online schooling!!

Don’t sleep on this legend
The coldest guy to ever rap
"But the real matrix is where Neo wakes", DAMN! He ain't opening your mind, he's changing it forever.
He’s the best rapper anyway, and he outdid himself in this song, providing us 4-minute education about the world we live in.
Hands down the most underrated rapper and it is a blessing to have such a lyricist on the scene
Lowkey just casually bodying everyone. It's like that yeah. 🐐🐐🐐
rest in peace ty n black the ripper
Ty.... no way didn't know about that one 😥
They was debating lyricists the other week but I guess Lowkey is in a league of his own
Akala and Wretch 32 as well
He’s deffo up there with one of the best for word play
I didn't know of Lowkey before this. After this I said this guy is sick! I need to listen to more! Probably one of the best Daily Duppys ever.
I would recommend any if Lowkeys work, the more you listen the more you will research the information and knowledge. So much more than a rapper
🐐 with real knowledge.
Best daily duppy hands down
Lowkey will always be the UK's best, His original daily duppy is still fire too.
Real Lyricist 🤐🤐
1:53 “they talk it but don’t walk it like pistorious” whaaaaaa 🔥 💯💯💯
One of the most underrated lyrics I've heard. If you actually deep it 😂 i dno how he comes up with this. Pure talent
