He is BACK.. after taking a step back to work on a few films including '4.3.2.1' and his second album (titled TBC) This is definitely a long awaited track (for me at least!) Using Baby D's classic 'Let Me Be Your Fantasy', Bashy has made a track that will be rinsed all summer, I can picture it already (reeeewiiind!) !! The track is expected to be released roundabout the time he does his first official gig @ o2 Islington in early September...Its been a minute... Welcome back!
Can I start with..."looooooooooool".... I never thought Lowkey would ever go on this tip, but i guess he felt strongly enough to do it. Known for his political lyrics and speeches this was definitely not expected. Some people have commented on how Lowkey should have never sunk to this level..but in his defense... he is allowed to just kill someone lyrically for the fun of it... it certainly had me LOL throughout the entire track!Big track! Don't get me wrong, Chimpmunk has done good for himself but for everytime I've seen him, he seems very up himself.. soo I guess Lowkey was simply "grounding" him! Ima attach the lyrics coz its tooo funny and gonna highlight my fave lyrics......." "pregnant head!!!" (ROTFL) You are not the grime scene saviour You sly weak hater A little pop tart that owes wiley favours And doesn't really understand these shystie majors They sell your pop songs to these nice teenagers And don't get me wrong you might be famous But they buy green acres You buy me trainers (Nikes) You were more real as an id faker Make enough love songs and you might see paper When you see 1, the label see a hundred crispy bills That is what happens when you sign 360 deals Give this chump a little chance, punch you in his heart Got signed for a chump then bumped for his advance Getting hyped cos sum 12 year olds felt your song But what you gonna do when all the little girls are gone You'll be as frail as the songs you got wealthy from And be a tiny little dancer for elton john You aint even worth the ink in my fingertips Does this little midget really fink he's a lyricist? The drink from my flippin sink is a privilege Copy jay z and make your fingers a pyramid Keep making soulless music your fans buy But jam your hype and hang tight with your damp rhymes Hearing you is sad like watching ants die But people know the truth bashing your hand signs Am not telling anybody to get hostile This is just a hobby I feel sorry for this lost child Chipmunk chipmunk chipmunk chipmunk Lyrical skill isn't measured by your income They tell me leave the kid alone He's faker that silicone My lyrics expose reveal the soul of this jiga cloneLittle jigga minnie me, didn't sleep just twitter beef Still its peak for this little meek in his skinny jeans Should I snap fingers, end all tweeting, take off ma slipper get parental beating Sword razor tongue/ means your days are done/ this yout is big headed in more ways than one You diss vex but you spit wet Little Princess, Sony is searching for the next bigheads to pick next, you not hardLil pop tart Think you got bars U might top charts but lyrically u flopped hard Silly voice pretty boy that shaves his eyebrows Grime scenes very own amy winehouse Ur loopy lately Could you be crazy What kinda man calls a rap song oopsy daisy I'm a real mc they won't forget me fill up your bank account your soul is empty If u getting vexed asks you what u represent U can't get respect u talk about of the devils breds And the money u made will mean nothing when you're dead so think when u get that deep thought through your pregnant head If u get depressed u can pay for next tattoos Or phone up your mandem jls to back u Pick the wrong option Its likely u got problems U can't try me I'm not wiley or dot rotten Not the hardest mc far from the best rapper Not in this scene but maybe on xfactor Hide inside your house cos were sick of your wining mouth Every sentence will slay the secrets under simon cowell Stay calm fool when the napalm fools All the youths on your ends call u 'Hey Arnold'- Ahaaaaaaaa Gutless diva with a tough demeanor How does it feel to be the UKs Justin Bieber If you're a lyricist stop coming with them puppy bars Talk is cheap u can't walk the street without your bodyguards If money is nothing why is an issue why you rhyme Money is nothing can't take it with you when you die Make another track that says how much cash you're getting It can't buy u skill credibility or happiness
I don't wanna see people talking about fuck chipmunk after this It's not about fuck chipmunk This is just a warning Yeah If u keep acting like a boy people are gonna keep treating u like a boy If u act like a man people will treat u like a man Just because u got more money and u got a machine behind u Doesn't make u better lyricist than anybody What makes u a better lyricist is lyrical skill Right now u need to choose what u are Are u a lyricist or are u a pop star If you're a lyricist do your thing Say the word Humble yourself
When I first saw this I was like "huh?"... Then it just made it clear how powerful an unsigned rapper can be using his voice as his only weapon/defense.
Lowkey is known for attending numerous protests and talks, standing out and standing strong as the Voice of the public. Also known as Kareem Dennis, Lowkey is not just a rapper, hes a poet, a political activist and a Representative of many souls worldwide.
I think this interview has show how far Lowkey has grown as an artist and a person.
"Israel is a terrorist state and now a pirate state."
His words are powerful.. he speaks with confidence and his knowledge is detailed. He isn't just an excited rapper on a hype.. hes a powerful rapper with a lot to say, enough to capture the attention of international waters while risking himself for naming names and speaking the truth.
I can't say it enough.. but Lowkey is truly the Voice of the Voiceless... Well done Brother!
I think there comes a point in most relationships when this song is RELEVANT!!
Its exactly what us Ladies do! We trust our men, but are still tempted to look on his phone... Then we find the most silliest thing to hold against him... 90% of the time we know he ain't cheating.. we just wanna FIGHT!
"Whats wrong? you say nothing, but I can blatantly see that its something!"
Now what WE ladies fail to understand is ... Men are simple... so after we see it we get all iggy and funky but refuse to directly say anything... Instead we get cold/screw our face... for every conversation he generates we reply with two words at best... Leaving him to get frustrated and getting him to repeatedly ask if everything is ok ......
"I ask if you want food? You say no but I can hear your belly rumbling"
Why we do this I don't know! But it takes 3 to 4 times of him asking if we are ok for us to turn around and say "don't worry about it" or "I donno YOU tell ME" ...WTF!! LOL!
By this point he has NO IDEAwhat the Rass your talking about...If anything your just giving him a headache... Simple men and psycho attention seeking moment for women, don't mix!
Mind games are truly on! I must reiterate... Men are simple and aren't too phazed!! So they won't beg us for an answer, they'll just leave you be, however somehow something they says so innocently turns into a massive outbreak from our side (like we time it...."not now.. not now... not.. now.......EXPLODE!!).....
"Why you acting like a Pessimist....looking through my messages..don't you trust man?"
Referring back to the fact that guys are simple... it also means us ladies take it to another level of emotion and thought... So, a simple "hey John, how are you babes?" text, leads into "omg she called him babes.. what!! Is she something special, why is she calling him by his first name.. its not formal coz she said babes at the end... " then we take it to another level "is she trying to sound sexy or sumthing.. wtf is she doing textin? Who is this Alicia??" LOOOOOOOOOL!
Where else the guy is 'Simply' thinking.. "erm its just mate.. " and believe it or not... it is what it is...
" I'm a big man I can get calls when I like"
Don't get it twisted ... Some guys are playing around ... but us ladies do make things ten times worse by creating a whole episode of Eastenders in our head (theme tune and all!!) instead of asking a few questions then knowing where/how to drop it!!In this track Bashy mentions how shes crying... Its not because of what HE said... its THAT episode of Eastenders is STILL playing in her head with the dramatic ending, which is "OMG hes messing with her and has 3 kids with her, that I don't know of.......BABY MAMA DRAMA!!!" .. The imagination WONDERS faaaaaaaaar!
What next? We want to end things! Want to dramatically walking away..... Causing an unnecessary scene!! Grr!! LOL!
Ladies..... Let a guy have his females and stop fishing for stuff to fight about ....
Guys... A girl will sometimes cause this as shes attention seeking.. sometimes she doesn't even know it.. but it IS!! So it should end with you hugging her up and reminding her how much she means to you... even if its JUST TOSHUT HER UP!!!
Listen to these lyrics and LAUGH!!! ......

I'm sure you've all heard the adverts on radio, seen the posters and watched the adverts on TV...... ItDoesntHaveToHappenis an anti-knife crime campaign designed to involve and captivate young people, to promote peace on the street, within their own communities.
Throughout February and March 2009, a number of anti-knife crime events took place in the 10 Tackling Knives Action Programme (TKAP) across England and Wales.
The events included school activities, street theatre, football tournaments, peer-to-peer marketing initiatives and workshops in attendance centres, all of which engaged thousands of young people with anti-knife crime messages.
The events informed young people of the dangers of carrying knives, equipped them with conflict resolution techniques, and helping them to find positive alternatives to knife culture.
ItDoesntHaveToHappenevents were coordinated by young people, police, teachers, youth workers and community groups.
The campaign has now expanded, earlier this year a BeBo page was dedicated toItDoesntHaveToHappen. The page allowed young people to take part, air their views and create their ownItDoesntHaveToHappenposter.
In addition, UK musicians, DJs and Actors have also took part in spreading the message.
Richard Blackwood dedicated a "Real Talk" seminar toItDoesntHaveToHappen...
Trevor Nelsonhas carried out a number of interviews.....
Galxey FM, Choice FMand , Kiss FMhave all deisgned radio shows and anti knife crime workshops..... Most Recently a song has been released called

Last night Lowkey uploaded a New Video..... The Tack entitled "The Cradle of Civilization", Lowkey talks about Baghdad and the sufferings. The Massive TrackfeaturesMai Khalil talented Arabic vocals, she isn't the only one who talks in Arabic. Lowkey switches it up and raps a few bars in arabic........
Its finally been uploaded on Bashy TV! I'm beyond excited!!!!
The video is a true reflection of his lyrics. For everyone who follows my blog, you know how a feel about BIG songs being made as a video. I worry it will put me off as it will have no relevance to the lyrics and to all real music lovers you know we build out own video in our head before a video is even made, so exceptions are THERE!!!
But Bashy and 'Graphic state of mind' production NAILED it!A very on point video where Bashy's lyrics/message are truly delivered!!!
The video is self-explanatory! The lyrics show you, what some may say, true reflection of whats going on in the UK and feel its also voicing their opinions, however obviously some might disagree.... Either way its a video that will get to you, whether its shivers in your body, or a "damn"/ "true stories/real talk" reaction.... it speaks to you truthfully.
I've watched this video 5 times and counting!
Show your support! if you like it, spread it, if you love it........
I said it before, Ima Say it again!!Bashy's gonna blow up, hopefully not too commercial, but hes a massive role model, for all young people in the UK!!! As that wasteful chic from Big Brother said "Member I told you!" LOOL! :P
