Where is lowkey studying

This book will give you everything you need to study productively and effectively—and of course, ace your exams. The unfortunate truth is, much of our current education system still hinges on standardised testing.

And when it comes to major exams, these papers can determine—to a significant extent—our future path. This book covers the most effective ways to study and prepare for exams, distilled into five chapters of concise, practical advice:.

Detailed, step-by-step examples are given for every method or strategy mentioned. Lowkey: First, I had to ask myself: what is my greatest tool to point out responsibility for things that are happening in the world? Now that I understand that more clearly — understand that neoliberalism, the dominant economic philosophy of our time, leads to decisions being made on paper which cause huge numbers of deaths, I know my best medium to communicate with people it affects most is music.

Secondly, there is a broader disenchantment with political orthodoxy than ever before right now. A process of widening democratic participation, of redistributing political power, and economic power, is happening. And if my greatest tool to participate in that process is music, I will use it.

If we were to look back to , who had the highest reach out of rappers in the country? It would have been Dizzee, or Tinie Tempah. And then look at what the political alternatives are. Jeremy Corbyn being leader of the Labour Party offers a far bigger alternative to anything that existed 8 years ago. The reach of musicians is further, and the potential for an alternative politics is further.

So it made sense for me to come back. What have you been up to on your break from music? Now I have a qualification as an English teacher, and as a personal trainer. How has spending time in academia changed you musically? A lot of my older music was quite sloganeering. But the new album is a bit more intricate, nuanced, less sure of itself. What made you opt for these unconventional features?

My music and my shows are partly about political education, but also partly about politically organising as well. Songs and poems have always accompanied dissent. I think his films are really brilliant in terms of encouraging people to collectivise.

Was there any strategy behind this? And "The Return Of Lowkey" beat did that for me. I think it is important to make your music relevant to a younger age group as well.

This is the thing about growing older: you start thinking, okay well, do I just want to speak to my generation, or to a younger generation too? Especially when I feel the younger generation are far more vulnerable than ever before. In a way, I felt one at one point that listening to music or watching films was a waste of time, and that I should be listening to a lecture or reading instead.

But the problem with thinking like that is that you miss out on the way music can enrich your soul. Through making music, if you can move someone to tears, then you can move them to action. Music is our life, you know what I mean? My dad worked for a record label, so a lot of these records were playing in my household. New Jack Swing and the golden era of hip hop.

For me that was high school and going into college, so those songs bring back so many different memories. From my first car, to my first date, to playing a song and getting fresh for the first day of school. It defined my musical ear, my musical palette and who I am today. Things evolve. We thrive and crave for that information. And sometimes that can blur the lines between the artist and the consumer. I think they call that a parasocial relationship.

And that can mess up the relationship, you know? It puts too much pressure on the artists, it forces them to create in an uncomfortable timeframe. Back in the day we sat with an album for six to nine months.

Now we sit with albums for six weeks. You started out at Howard working at the radio and studying broadcast journalism. How did your time at an HBCU prepare you for the career that you have now? I was being put on to different slang, clothing, food and cultures. HBCUs are really breeding grounds for all those things.
