Legendary UK-based hip-hop artist and activist Kareem Dennis, aka Lowkey, uses his considerable talents as a musician to pay homage to the voices and struggles of the oppressed, from the plight of migrants that have fled to Europe, to the suffering of Iraqis and Palestinians in the Middle East, to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. His work, including his single “Voices of The Voiceless” with Immortal Technique, and “Long Live Palestine” (also known as “Tears to Laughter”), are hip-hop classics. His song “Terrorist?”, a searing condemnation of the hypocrisy of Washington and Western governments, was swiftly censored by many digital media platforms.
He’s long been a target of the Israel lobby in both UK and the United States, which blocked him from receiving a visa to perform. The University of Cambridge postponed his March 8 Zoom talk, “The Israel Lobby’s War Against You.” The British press has engaged in an ongoing smear campaign against the rapper, and there is an organized effort to get his music removed from Spotify.
Chris Hedges interviews writers, intellectuals, and dissidents, many banished from the mainstream, in his half-hour show, The Chris Hedges Report. He gives voice to those, from Cornel West and Noam Chomsky to the leaders of groups such as Extinction Rebellion, who are on the front lines of the struggle against militarism, corporate capitalism, white supremacy, the looming ecocide, as well as the battle to wrest back our democracy from the clutches of the ruling global oligarchy.Watch The Chris Hedges Report live YouTube premiere on The Real News Network every Friday at 12PM ET.Listen to episode podcasts and find bonus content at The Chris Hedges Report Substack.

Low-key vividly reveals the sham of bourgeois democracy. What we now have is MICIMATT= imperialism (rule of US hegemon and it’s western allies) in a new form: a seamless web of: Military Industrial Complex, Congress (or parliament), Intelligence Services, MSM (mainstream media), Academic Think Tanks. Lowkey is fighting back with hip- hop. Solidarity with him, the Palestinian people, and all the oppressed!
Gente con amor y coraje

Weather people loose their family home by government demolition by eminent domain policies for upscale development, or by tragedy of wars a family is forever heartbroken. In America these days families loosing their homes due to excessive high rents after COVID. Very sad that families in others countries are in a constant state of distress and displacement while local government demolition of their homes. Now these cruel visions of housing rights are spreading around the world and more folks going homeless. Hope stable times bestow on Holy Land and displacement stops. It's called common decency to respect a families home. Great topic and interview.
<Lowkey needs to educate RFK Jr
Many thanks for exposing the truth and calling out the brutal monsters.
horrific what he went through. Wish you both all the best.
UK has Completely given up even a Sham of Independence, and just Rolled in the Feet of the Zionist and American Corrupt War System.Killing it's Self Respect for it's Sepperate Identity. Instead of Standing up for Human Rights.
The Corrupt, Powerful and Wealthy are making the Masses into the Walking Dead.

If you want a Rapper who said everything before Chris Hedges , Doug macgregor , Selente from Trends Journal , that is KRS , and i listen to him he is not Rapping , he is preaching using Rap as a tool , but he said everything , even said what you have to do , 20 years ago , and you still didn't do it . Just listen to his albums or interviews , man is smart not being in military and or government , or having any schooling in that regard . He is a natural .
I never heard of Lowkey before but he's a very impressive advocate. Thanks for having him on.
