Debut Album from Lowkey

LOWKEY

DEAR LISTENER

Label: SO EMPIRE / HIPHOP VILLAGE

Release Date: 26th JANUARY 2009

The best rapper you'll ever hear in your life
Jon McClure (Reverend And The Makers)

One of the best lyricists in the Western Hemisphere

He's dope! One of the best rappers in the UK

As a poet, playwright, political activist and award-winning rapper, Lowkey is one of the countrys most talented, diverse and promising artists. Hailing from a bubbling homegrown hip-hop scene, Lowkey has successfully applied his artform to the world of indie music, without compromising the music he loves.

His first official album, Dear Listener is an extremely honest and distinctly fresh project, laden with world class production from SCRAM JONES (MARIAH CAREY / G UNIT), STYALZ FUEGO (CHAMILLIONAIRE / BUSTA RHYMES), Q-TONES (LIL WAYNE) and more.

Keep your eyes peeled Lowkeys involvement in a supergroup band project named MONGREL. With Lowkey as the lead emcee, the band also includes members of the ARCTIC MONKEYS, BABYSHAMBLES and REVEREND AND THE MAKERS. This project will surely cement Lowkeys position as one of the countrys premier lyricists; do not sleep on his remarkable debut!
