Welcome to Topple Uncaged meets… Lowkey.

Topple meets Lowkey

He rose to prominence in 2009 with the release of his first album Dear Listener. A British-Iraqi born in London, he was rapping from an early age and was noticed after putting out a series of mixtapes. But Dear Listener propelled him onto a worldwide stage, and he has not only played festivals and concerts in the UK but around the world.

Now, he’s back. His latest release The Return of Lowkey has blown up across the internet, achieving half a million views on YouTube alone. Lowkey is dropping his new album in April along with a tour. So, Canary journalist and broadcaster Steve Topple caught up with him for the Topple Uncaged podcast. Here you can listen to the full interview, where the pair discuss his music, influences, politics, capitalism, history and more.

Enjoy!

Presented, produced and edited by Steve Topple.

We need your help ...

The coronavirus pandemic is changing our world, fast. And we will do all we can to keep bringing you news and analysis throughout. But we are worried about maintaining enough income to pay our staff and minimal overheads.

Now, more than ever, we need a vibrant, independent media that holds the government to account and calls it out when it puts vested economic interests above human lives. We need a media that shows solidarity with the people most affected by the crisis – and one that can help to build a world based on collaboration and compassion.

We have been fighting against an establishment that is trying to shut us down. And like most independent media, we don’t have the deep pockets of investors to call on to bail us out.

Can you help by chipping in a few pounds each month?
