Timeline

1986

Kareem Dennis (born 23 May 1986), better known by his stage name Lowkey, is a British rapper and activist from London.

He first became known through a series of mixtapes he released before he was 18, before taking a hiatus from the music business.

2003

The first part of his mixtape series Key to the Game, was released independently in 2003.

Within a year and a half he had released a second and third volume.

Though the first volume largely used music from other artists, the second was mostly original work in conjunction with numerous artists and producers while the third, which had no skits or short songs like a traditional mixtape would, was mostly his own work.

While Lowkey was busying himself with European tours in support of Immortal Technique, Canibus, and Dead Prez, he began to make musical contacts and record his debut album.

2005

Lowkey joined a hip-hop group called Poisonous Poets with which was formed by rapper Reveal and released one self-titled mixtape in 2005.

Poisonous Poets (sometimes known as Double P) the group also consisted of Doc Brown whom Lowkey met at Real Deal records, Reveal, Stylah, Tony D and Therapist.

Lowkey's manager passed on the first two parts of Key to the Game to Jon McClure, frontman of Reverend and The Makers who is also an outspoken political activist.

Wanting to mix popular music with politics, and mix indie rock with hip-hop, the two formed a supergroup, Mongrel, with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders and ex-bassist Andy Nicholson, Babyshambles bassist Drew McConnell and a revolving set of other musicians.

2008

He would return in 2008, with appearances on BBC Radio and at various festivals and concerts including the BBC Electric Proms, Glastonbury, T In The Park and Oxegen in the buildup to his first solo album Dear Listener, as well as collaborating with other British musicians to form the supergroup Mongrel.

Though stalled by other artistic endeavours, Dear Listener was released in October 2008.

In December he released the compilation album Uncensored, with highlights from the entire Key to the Game series and Dear Listener, digitally through iTunes.

2009

After touring with Immortal Technique the two made a single, "Voices of the Voiceless" which was released in September 2009.

The second single, "Long Live Palestine" (also known as "Tears to Laughter") was digitally released on 9 March 2009.

In December 2009, Lowkey revealed he would release a second part to "Long Live Palestine" featuring Palestinian rap group DAM, Anglo-Palestinian soloist Shadia Mansour, Narcy from Iraq, Iranian artists Hich Kas and Reveal, Syrian-Lebanese performer Eslam Jawaad and African-American Muslim Hasan Salaam.

"Long Live Palestine" was packaged in an EP with Part 1 and the instrumental.
