Some pretty shocking news has rocked up tonight in the old world of underground hipada hopada. Lowkey, young UK legend MC and all round fantastic spitter has decided to step away from the mic to concentrate on his studies. It comes as a complete surprise, especially after the success of his most recent album ‘Soundtrack To The Struggle’. I suppose even the most prolific rappers needs a break to reassess and get their minds right. We at HHLAT wish Lowkey the best of luck in whatever he decides to put his hand to, and hope he’ll be back to the music world sooner rather than later. He’s needed!
Here’s the ‘press release’ from his Facebook page.
“After many months of contemplation I have decided to step away from music and concentrate on my studies. Maybe at some point I will get back into it again but at this stage I feel I should direct my energy in different, more helpful directions. The ego is a destructive thing and I feel this business and these social networks in particular have a tendency to feed it in an unhealthy way. I will be deactivating this page. Thank you for all those who have supported me over the years. See you on the other side people.”
