Lowkey has been called many things over the course of his career—activist, rapper—but now he can add university speaker to his CV, as he recently spoke at The Oxford Union as part of a debate, arguing that the Arab world had not failed the Palestinian people; it's a discussion that is the subject of a lot of his work, being of Iraqi heritage.

Having recently made his return to music with the appropriately titled "The Return Of Lowkey" and the promise of a new album, Soundtrack To The Struggle 2, it's good to see a rapper of his pedigree using his voice and his platform to inform and create dialogue in a similar way to his former The People's Army affiliate Akala.
