It just annoys the fuck out of me that he mentions Mandela and ANC as terrorists on Terrorist. They only made bombs because white cops started murdering innocent/peaceful demonstrants for no reason at all + they always did everything to avoid harming people with the bombs.


It wasn't a criticism at all. He was basically using that to emphasis how open the definition of terrorism is.

He made some tweets on the matter a while back, after someone questioned him on it:

The terrorists of yesterday are the statesmen of tomorrow and vice versa. That is why Mandela + Gerry Adams were mentioned

the point was how was previously defined by thse who now embrace him, as with Mandela.

That was what I thought too, I just wasn't 100 % sure. I probably shouldn't let it bother me cus the whole message and point he conveyed in the song got clearer when he mentioned different examples of terrorism at the end.

I don't know, it is usually just something I hear nazis say so it just got to me...

Just seen Lowkey live, got the chance to chat to him and dude said his album's finished by the end of this week/next week, and after that, it should take about a month to come out. Apparently he's being blocked a bit from putting things out...Trippy experience meeting dude, he's literally one of the most realistically down to earth rappers i've met, same with Logic.

Good shit, Verses. Would love to meet him.

I saw on his Twitter he said he was mixing the album so an early August release looks likely.

So excited. Still waiting for that Obama Nation Pt. II live video.

I know this is an old topic but does anyone have any news about this? Can't find a release date anywhere?

Props to Satire for this - snippets of every song are on Amazon:

I can't believe he took off Osama Nation. The skits seem to pull the album together though.
Couple of songs sound repetitive but The Butterfly Effect, Obama Nation 2, Terrorist 2 & Haunted sound sick. The features on two of said songs will pull them down, though, probably.

Obama Nation 2 is out on Sunday btw. Here's a video preview:

Sadly the album will only get released digitally through Itunes and therefore not on CD. I was really looking forward to getting my hands on it and take a look in the booklet. I kinda expected Lowkey to have something to share other than just the actual music.

I pre-ordered it anyway though. At first I felt let down by the snippets but after giving them a second chance, I am more excited than ever. Especially Haunted sounds like it is going to be a great one for me personally.

From his twitter:

@LowkeyMusic1 Will there be CDs for this or is it only coming out in digital versions?
@LoueNassar digital only for the moment bro.
