After withdrawing from the spotlight in 2012 to focus on his studies, the rapper and political activist Lowkey has returned to music with a new track “Ahmed.”
The track is an emotive, moving dissection of the Syrian refugee crisis and the mass desensitization that we’ve seen in its aftermath.
It’s being supplemented by a national tour in September, where Lowkey will be stopping off in seven cities.
Lowkey, whose real name is Kareem Dennis, is of Iraq heritage. He is a vocal opponent of Zionism and has been become well known for his pro-Palestinian activities, describing Zionism as colonialism and ethnic cleansing. He has also been a sharp critic of United States and British foreign policy.
