Rapper and political campaigner, Lowkey will play a slew of shows across the UK this September as part of his full tour.

The hip hop artist, of Iraqi descent, is known for approaching hard hitting and controversial subject matter with slick wordplay and incredibly touching lyricism. Poignant tribute song 'Ghosts of Grenfell', was released following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, in which he confronts 'the culture of power with the power of culture'.

Having taken time out since 2011 to study and embark on multiple humanitarian aid missions, Lowkey made his hiatus breaking return last year to shed light on sociopolitical issues including the ongoing international refugee crisis.
